The fixed frame is V _ _ _ _ _ C, and all 13 matches appear in Collins. Only 9 occur in ENABLE and NWL2023, so a Collins-only solver has four more options than either of those lists. None meets our common-word frequency cutoff, which explains why familiar guesses dry up quickly.

At a glance: the V-to-C pattern

  • Thirteen tournament-dictionary entries fit the exact V _ _ _ _ _ C frame.
  • Collins contains all 13; ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain 9.
  • Only 8 entries have definitions, so a match is not automatically familiar vocabulary.
  • VIVIFIC leads the Scrabble scores at 18 points; VINYLIC and VENEFIC each score 15.
  • The average score is 13.5, below the top result of 18.

How many 7-letter words with V first and C last?

Exactly 13 seven-letter words start with V and end in C in at least one tournament dictionary. This is a narrow clue, not a large word bank: the V-first, S-last pattern has 192 matches, while this V-and-C pattern has 13.

That contrast makes the final tile especially valuable: lock C in place, then test the middle letters against the smaller set. VOLTAIC and VOCALIC are two recognizable-looking examples, but none of these matches meets our common-word frequency cutoff.

Changing only the first tile to A raises the count to 70; changing it to T gives 28. V is the tight constraint in those comparisons, even with C fixed at the end.

Which V-to-C matches score well in Scrabble?

VIVIFIC scores 18, the highest listed value, while VINYLIC and VENEFIC each score 15. VOCALIC and VIREMIC follow at 14 apiece, and VEGANIC, VANADIC, and VERIDIC score 13 each. That gives you a clear shortlist when the board rewards letter value over familiarity.

For 7-letter words with V first and C last, the score ranking is a board-play aid, not proof that every game accepts each entry. Only 8 have definitions, and Collins has 13 matches while ENABLE and NWL2023 have 9 apiece. Check your game's word list once before relying on a Collins-only option.

Do all 13 words appear in every Scrabble dictionary?
