7-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter

That fixed pattern leaves just 59 tournament-dictionary entries, and only 7 rank among the most common English words. The opening letter does most of the sorting: E, A, and O account for 53 entries, while I, K, and S supply the remaining six. This is a narrow pattern, not a broad word-building pool.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

• E leads with 19 matches; A follows with 18, then O with 16.
• Only I, K, and S appear as other first letters: 3, 2, and 1 match.
• D is the most common final letter at 18, just ahead of S at 17.
• EVZONES tops the scoring list at 19 points; KVELLED is next at 15.
• The average score is 11.4, and familiar examples include EVOLVED and AVOIDED.

7-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter

The list is heavily concentrated at its first letter: 53 of 59 begin with E, A, or O. EVOLVED, EVOLVES, and EVINCES show the common E-starting shape; AVOIDED, AVENGED, and AVAILED give A a similarly recognizable run. O brings OVERSEE, OVERSEA, and OVERFED, with the same fixed V and E positions.

Endings offer another shortcut: D and S together account for 35 entries, including EVOLVED and EVOLVES; R and T contribute 8 and 7. If your rack or crossword crossing rules out D and S, the remaining endings are much thinner, with E appearing only 3 times; check each candidate against the crossings before chasing a rare first letter.

The pattern is V in slot two and E in slot six, so the template looks like _V___E_. The sixth letter is fixed but the last letter is not: D and S dominate, while R and T remain plausible. Keep the final square open until crossing letters narrow the field.

Which candidates are worth checking first?

• For familiar options, start with EVOLVED, AVOIDED, OVERSEE, or AVENUES; each appears among the leading examples.
• EVZONES scores 19, the highest listed total; its Z supplies much of the scoring punch.
• EVOLVED and OVERFED each score 14, below the top pair but easier to recognize.
• Collins accepts 58 matches, NWL2023 accepts 49, and ENABLE accepts 42, so dictionary coverage differs.
• Only 7 entries fall in the common-word group; check your game's word list before relying on an obscure match.
