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

The pattern fixes V in slot two and S in slot seven, leaving five middle letters to vary. The 36 tournament-dictionary entries have a strong opening-letter bias: 18 begin with A and 10 with E. Check those groups first, then scan the smaller groups beginning with O, U, I, and K for less expected options.

Quick facts about this V-and-S pattern

• 36 tournament-dictionary words fit the V-second, S-last pattern.
• Collins includes all 36; ENABLE has 25 and NWL2023 has 26.
• AVENUES, EVOLVES, and OVARIES are among the recognizable entries.
• Only three entries meet the common-word cutoff.
• EVZONES leads the score ranking at 19 points.

How many 7-letter words have V second and S last?

Exactly 36 words match both fixed positions. The dictionary totals differ: Collins has 36, while ENABLE has 25 and NWL2023 has 26. A word accepted in one list may not appear in another, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

The first letter narrows the search quickly. A accounts for 18 matches and E for 10; O contributes four, U two, and I and K one apiece. AVATARS and AVOWALS show the A group, while EVADERS and EVINCES are examples beginning with E.

Common vocabulary is scarce here: just three entries meet the common-word cutoff. AVENUES and OVARIES are easier to recognize than many of the remaining matches, which include specialized or uncommon forms.

Which matching words score the most?

EVZONES tops the scores at 19 points, followed by EVEJARS at 17. KVASSES and EVOKERS each score 14, while EVOLVES, AVOWALS, AVOWERS, and AVOYERS each reach 13. These values make the less familiar entries worth checking when a rack or board position rewards premium letters.

A practical search order is to test the A and E openings first, then inspect the smaller O, U, I, and K groups. That approach uses the pattern's actual distribution instead of treating all 36 candidates as equally likely.

• Try AVENUES or EVOLVES when you recognize a familiar word shape.
• Keep EVZONES in mind when a high-value Z fits your rack.
• Use the final S as a fixed anchor; it does not vary among these matches.
• Treat uncommon entries as dictionary-dependent, not automatic plays.
