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

This pattern fixes V at the start and D at the finish, leaving five letters to solve. The matches range from everyday-looking forms such as visited and vomited to rarer entries like vizzied. Only two words in the set rank among the most common English words, so treat the full list as a word-game resource rather than a vocabulary shortlist.

The V-to-D pattern at a glance

• There are 36 seven-letter matches with V first and D last.
• Visited, vacated, vaulted, and vomited are recognizable examples.
• Only two matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• Dictionary coverage ranges from 24 ENABLE entries to 33 Collins entries.

How unusual is this V-and-D combination?

The 36 matches make this a narrow pattern: words beginning with S and ending in D number 587 at the same length. Changing only the first letter creates a much larger search pool, so keep both fixed positions in mind when checking a rack.

Changing the final letter while keeping V first also shifts the count. The V-and-S pattern has 192 matches, compared with 36 for V-and-D. That gap makes the last letter a strong filter, not a detail to leave until the end.

How to use 7-letter words with V first and D last

For a board search, start with familiar forms such as visited, vacated, and voyaged, then test less familiar candidates against your game's dictionary. Collins contains 33 matches, while NWL2023 contains 29, so the accepted set depends on which word list your game uses. Many of the familiar entries, including vaunted and vouched, are past-tense verbs.

The scoring outlier is VIZZIED at 29 points; VIZORED follows at 20, while VOUCHED scores 16. Those totals make the unusual forms worth checking when your rack supports them, but they are not everyday vocabulary. The 36-word set has an average score of 13.2.
