The pattern is V in position two and D in position five, leaving ten tournament-listed choices. Six start with OVER-, including OVERDUE, OVERDID, OVERDUB, OVERDOG, OVERDRY, and OVERDYE. AVOIDED and AVOIDER offer familiar alternatives, while DVANDVA leads the score table; the narrow match makes the rarer entries easy to overlook.

The V-and-D pattern at a glance

  • Ten tournament-listed words have V second and D fifth.
  • Seven begin with O; AVOIDED and AVOIDER begin with A.
  • DVANDVA scores 15, ahead of OVERDRY and OVERDYE at 14 each.
  • Eight entries have definitions, while only two count as common.
  • Six entries share the OVER- opening, making it the strongest word family here.

Which 7-letter words have V as the 2nd letter and D as the 5th?

The OVER- cluster dominates: OVERDUE, OVERDID, OVERDUB, OVERDOG, OVERDRY, and OVERDYE account for six entries. That leaves four words with different openings; AVOIDED and AVOIDER begin with A, OVOIDAL begins with O, and DVANDVA starts with D. Two words end in D, two in E, and the other six each finish on a different letter.

When your known letters fix V and D, test the OVER- forms as a group, then check AVOIDED and AVOIDER separately. Both fit the same positions without the shared prefix. Eight entries have definitions, but only two count as common, so familiarity alone is a poor test of whether a game accepts a word.

How do the scores and dictionary lists compare?

DVANDVA leads at 15 points, with OVERDRY and OVERDYE tied at 14; OVERDUB follows on 13. The top score belongs to an unusual-looking word, so check its acceptance before playing it. AVOIDED and OVERDID each score 12, while OVERDUE and AVOIDER score 11.

For 7-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and D as the 5th letter, Collins includes all ten entries, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include nine apiece. That one-word difference matters if your game uses a narrower list. Check your game's dictionary before committing, especially with less familiar choices such as DVANDVA or OVERDOG.
