The fixed pattern is V _ _ P _ _ _, and only 13 tournament-dictionary words fit it. VAMPIRE and VAMPING are the most recognizable examples; others include VESPOID, VULPINE, and VEEPEES. Just one entry is common, so expect a narrow clue list rather than a bank of familiar choices.

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

  • Exactly 13 words match V at position one and P at position four.
  • VAMPIRE and VAMPING are recognizable fits for the pattern.
  • VAMPISH leads the score table at 17 points.
  • VAMPING scores 15; VAMPIRE, VAMPERS, and VAMPIER each score 14.
  • Collins lists 13 matches, compared with 11 in NWL2023 and 10 in ENABLE.

Which familiar words fit the V _ _ P _ _ _ pattern?

VAMPIRE is the clearest everyday example, while VAMPING and VAMPERS share its VAMP opening. VULPINE offers a different route through the same fixed letters, and VESPOID shows that the P need not follow a familiar word stem. VESPERS, VESPIDS, and VESPINE form a second cluster built on VESP-.

The endings are concentrated: four matches end in S and three end in E. The other six each have a different final letter, so check the final tile separately instead of guessing from the opening. For comparison, S first with P fourth produces 197 matches; this V pattern has just 13.

How do the scores and dictionary counts compare?

VAMPISH tops the score list at 17, followed by VAMPING at 15. VAMPIRE, VAMPERS, and VAMPIER each score 14, making the VAMP cluster the strongest scoring group among these examples.

Across all 13 matches, the average score is 13.2. The small common-word count is the main limitation: entries such as VEEPEES and VESPOID are less familiar than VAMPIRE. The 7-letter words with V as the 1st letter and P as the 4th letter also differ by game list, so check your game's dictionary before relying on a less familiar entry.
