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

Twelve matches make this pattern a tight search, not a broad word bank. Eight begin with O, while three start with E and one with A; only EVASION and OVATION count as common. Because fixed letters leave just 12 options, separate familiar answers from score plays instead of treating every match as equally likely. The OVER- cluster gives you a useful recall cue.

At a glance: the pattern and its strongest plays

• Exactly 12 seven-letter words fit V in position two and O in position six.
• Eight start with O; three start with E, and one starts with A.
• EVASION and OVATION are the only two common matches.
• Collins lists all 12 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 10.
• OVERJOY leads the score list at 20 points.

Which matches are familiar or high-scoring?

Start with the recognizable pair EVASION and OVATION: both score 10, and both are among the two common entries. Each ends in N, so either fits a final-N clue while keeping the fixed V and O in place.

For a score-first play, OVERJOY stands out at 20, ahead of OVERCOY at 15. OVERHOT and OVERSOW each score 13; OVERTOP, OVERDOG, and EVICTOR each score 12. These figures rank the words before any premium-square bonus.

7-letter words with V 2nd and O 6th

Eight of the 12 entries begin with O, and seven examples use OVER-: OVERJOY, OVERCOY, OVERHOT, OVERSOW, OVERTOP, OVERDOG, and OVERGOT. That cluster is a better recall cue than trying random first letters; the other matches begin with E or A.

Only two entries count as common by frequency, so this pattern is not a reliable source of familiar everyday plays. Collins has two more matches than either ENABLE or NWL2023; check the word list your game uses before playing less familiar entries.

Endings offer one more filter: R is most common, with three matches. N, T, and Y appear twice each, while G, P, and W occur once apiece.
