The pattern is O _ _ V _ _ _, with O fixed at the start and V in slot four. Collins contains all 10 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 contain eight each. That dictionary split makes the set narrower in some word games than others, so check the rules for your game before relying on a candidate.

7-letter words with O as the 1st letter and V as the 4th letter

  • Exactly 10 tournament-dictionary entries fit O _ _ V _ _ _.
  • Collins includes all 10; ENABLE and NWL2023 include eight each.
  • OEUVRES, OLIVINE, and OUTVOTE show three different word shapes.
  • OBOVOID and OLIVARY tie for the highest score at 13 points.

Which letter patterns stand out?

Compare OUTVOTE, OLIVINE, and OLIVERS as separate letter shapes: the first begins OUT-, while the latter two share OLI-. OBOVATE and OBOVOID instead begin OBO-, giving you three distinct starts among the examples. Use those chunks to check a board pattern without shifting the fixed fourth letter.

The final letter narrows the set too: four matches end in S, three in E, two in D, and one in Y. S is the strongest first ending to test, but it does not settle the answer; OEUVRES and OLIVETS both finish that way.

The O-start group is small beside sibling patterns with V fourth: 10 matches here, compared with 92 starting in S and 52 starting in P. If the first letter is uncertain, those alternatives give you much larger sets to test.

How do the scores and game lists compare?

OBOVOID and OLIVARY lead at 13 points each, followed by OBOVATE at 12 and OUTVIED at 11. OEUVRES, OLIVINE, OLIVERS, OUTVOTE, OUTVIES, and OLIVETS each score 10, so the top two are clear standouts.

None of these matches falls in the common-word group. Nine have definitions, but that does not make every entry familiar during play. Check your game's word list before using one: Collins has all 10, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have eight.
