With the last three letters fixed, only the first four letters matter, and they are almost always a verb stem. Nine of the 45 words double a consonant before the ending, as in VETTING and VANNING. That quirk is the quickest way to spot the unusual ones.

What to know about V-to-G words

  • Size: 45 words, of which Collins lists 42, NWL2023 32 and ENABLE 26.
  • Everyday words: 6, namely VARYING, VIEWING, VENDING, VOICING, VENTING and VETTING.
  • Top scorers: VAXXING at 25 and VIZYING at 23, then VACKING and VIFFING at 17.
  • Average score: 12.7 points, which is high for an -ING list because V is worth 4.
  • Ending: -ING closes all 45.

Which verb stems give 7-letter V words ending in -ING?

Short stems add -ING unchanged: VIEW, VARY, VEND, VOID, VETO, VEIL and VEIN give VIEWING, VARYING, VENDING, VOIDING, VETOING, VEILING and VEINING. Verbs with a silent E drop it, so VOICE becomes VOICING and VALUE becomes VALUING.

Check the stem against your clue first, then add the ending. The first four letters are all that remains in doubt.

The rarer stems fill the rest of the list. VAMPING, VALVING and VOLTING come from VAMP, VALVE and VOLT, and VOGUING keeps its U. VERBING and VENGING are valid but uncommon, so leave them until the common stems fail.

Which words double the final consonant?

Three-letter stems double their last letter: VETTING, VATTING, VANNING, VEGGING, VAGGING, VUMMING, VIFFING, VORRING and VAXXING. That is nine words, and each repeats a letter in third and fourth place.

VAXXING stands out on score. Its two Xs are worth 8 each, so it makes 25. VIFFING gets its 17 from two 4-point Fs, and VACKING from the C and K.

Where the list is thin

Note

ENABLE accepts only 26 of the 45 and NWL2023 32. Collins takes 42, so the odd doubled-consonant words are safest in a Collins game.
