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

The pattern is _V___T_: V is fixed in slot two, T in slot six, and the other five letters vary. Collins lists all 12 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 7. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, making this a narrow, vocabulary-heavy clue rather than a set of everyday words.

At a glance: the V-and-T pattern

• Collins has all 12 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 7.
• AVIDITY tops the score list at 14, ahead of OVALITY at 13.
• AVOCETS and EVOCATE tie at 12 points apiece.
• Seven entries end in E; 3 end in S, and 2 end in Y.
• The average score is 10.9, but none is common by the top-25,000 frequency measure.

Which words fit V second and T sixth?

The full set is AVIDITY, AVOCETS, AVAUNTS, AVIETTE, EVOCATE, EVITATE, EVIRATE, EVOLUTE, OVALITY, OVULATE, OVERATE and AVOSETS. Their first letters split into 5 A-words, 4 E-words and 3 O-words, so a starting-letter clue quickly cuts down the choices.

Endings are more concentrated: 7 words finish in E, while AVOCETS, AVAUNTS and AVOSETS account for the 3 S endings. AVIDITY and OVALITY are the only 2 that finish in Y. If your last letter is known, check those groups before testing every possible opening.

The list is uncommon by the site’s frequency measure, and 9 entries have definitions. For tournament play, check your game’s dictionary: NWL2023 and ENABLE each include 7 matches, while Collins includes all 12.

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

AVIDITY scores 14, the highest result among these matches; OVALITY follows at 13. AVOCETS and EVOCATE score 12 each, then OVULATE, EVOLUTE and OVERATE score 10 apiece. Those named scores offer a quick way to compare candidates when the board rewards letter value.

The fixed V and T do not determine the word’s final letter: the matches divide into E, S and Y endings. That split is a practical solving shortcut, but the modest average score of 10.9 means the leading score is not typical of the whole group.

For a broader search, compare this pattern with other second-letter V lists. Swapping the sixth tile to R yields 19 matches, while the U-second, T-sixth pattern has 193.
