This is a tight pattern, not a broad word pool: only 25 entries appear across the tournament dictionaries. The first letter narrows the choices further. O leads with 11 words, while E contributes 7, A contributes 5, and I contributes 2. AVERAGE and OVERDUE are easier to recognize than many of the remaining options.
The pattern in five quick facts
- Exactly 25 tournament-dictionary words have V second and E last.
- Every match ends in E, so the final tile is fixed.
- Collins accepts all 25; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 18.
- Only 3 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff; 17 have definitions.
- IVYLIKE leads the listed Scrabble scores at 17 points.
Which first letters appear most often?
O is the strongest opening letter, with 11 matches; E follows at 7. A supplies 5, and I supplies just 2. That makes OVERSEE, OVERDUE, and OVERUSE a useful cluster when your first tile is O.
The familiar examples are spread across those openings. AVERAGE begins with A, EVASIVE and EVACUEE begin with E, and IVYLlKE begins with I. Check the spelling carefully: the V is always the second letter, even when the word has several vowels.
Which words score well, and where are they accepted?
IVYLIKE is the standout scorer at 17 points, followed by OVERDYE at 14. EVASIVE, OVERAWE, and OVEREYE each score 13. Those figures are tile scores before any board-square bonuses, so a premium square can change the result.
Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has 25 entries, compared with 18 in both ENABLE and NWL2023. Seven words therefore appear in Collins but not in either of those 18-word sets. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar option such as IVRESSE.
How to use 7-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and E as the 7th letter
Lock V into the second square and E into the last, then test O as the first letter first: it covers 11 of the 25 matches. Keep AVERAGE and OVERDUE in mind as recognizable checks, but don't assume every match is common.
