7-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and I as the 3rd letter

EVIDENT, EVICTED, AVIATOR, and EVINCED are among the more recognizable matches. Their shared middle letters leave the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, and final positions open, which makes the pattern more restrictive than a simple V-start clue.

The first-letter split is unusually tight at the top: A accounts for 12 words and E for 11, while O contributes five. In the endings, E leads with five; S and T follow with four apiece. Use the start and finish together to narrow a rack or crossing clue.
