Only 13 tournament-dictionary words fit this seven-letter pattern, and just 2 fall within our common-word band. VOLUMES and VITAMIN are recognizable examples; the score leaders, VICOMTE and VIREMIC, are less obvious plays. Collins has 13 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 11, so the game's word list matters.

7-letter words with V as 1st and M as 5th letter

  • The tournament-dictionary count is 13 words.
  • Collins has 13 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 11.
  • Only 2 matches meet the common group.
  • VICOMTE and VIREMIC tie for the top score at 14 points.
  • Words ending in D and S tie as the most frequent endings, with 3 each.

Why does this letter pattern have so few matches?

V in the first position and M in the fifth make a narrow combination: only 13 seven-letter words fit. Compare that with S first and M fifth, which returns 124 matches, or V first and I fifth, which returns 116. A single changed letter opens many more options.

VOLUMES and VITAMIN are familiar examples, but the common-word band contains only 2 of the matches. The rest include less everyday forms such as VICOMTE, VIREMIC, VIDAMES, and VIDIMUS. Treat the pattern as a constraint list, not a promise of familiar vocabulary.

The average score is 12.7 points. Endings are spread across seven letters, but D and S lead with 3 words apiece; N and R follow with 2 each.

Which matches score well, and where are they accepted?

VICOMTE and VIREMIC score 14 points each. VENOMED, VOLUMED, VROOMED, VIDAMES, and VIDIMUS each score 13, making those less familiar spellings worth checking when a rack has room for a high-value V.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins has 13 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 11. Some entries may not suit your game's word list, so check it before committing to an unfamiliar play.

Questions people ask

Which 7-letter words with V first and M fifth score the most?
VICOMTE and VIREMIC share the highest score, at 14 points each. VENOMED, VOLUMED, VROOMED, VIDAMES, and VIDIMUS follow at 13 points apiece. Those scores make the less familiar options worth considering when your rack and board allow them.
How many common words fit V first and M fifth?
Only 2 of the 13 matches fall within our common-word frequency band. VOLUMES and VITAMIN are recognizable examples in the full set, but the frequency count does not identify which entries make up that common subset.
Do all word games accept the same V-and-M matches?
No. Collins has 13 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 11. The lists do not have identical coverage, so an entry accepted in one game may not work in another. Check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar form.
