Which endings dominate?
-ERS has five words: AVOWERS, AVOYERS, EVADERS, EVENERS and EVOKERS. -ARS has three more: AVATARS, EVEJARS and UVULARS. With AVENIRS and OVATORS, that makes the 10 words ending in S.
Three words end in -M, all with FORM or ARM: AVIFORM, OVIFORM and OVERARM. Three end in -Y: AVOUTRY, OVERDRY and OVULARY.
AVOWERS and AVOYERS differ only in the fourth letter, and AVIFORM and OVIFORM differ only in the first. Spotting these near-twins halves the number of words you need to remember.
Which words also fit V second and A fifth?
Six of the 19 appear on the V-2nd, A-5th list as well: AVATARS, EVEJARS, OVERARM, OVIPARA, OVULARY and UVULARS. Each has an A in fifth place and an R in sixth.
Those six form the shared core of the two pages. If your clue gives you V, A and R, test them before the other 13.
A scoring and dictionary warning
EVEJARS scores 17 because of the 8-point J, but only Collins accepts it. NWL2023 and ENABLE each take 12 of the 19 words, so confirm the list before playing.
