7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and D as the 7th letter

Most matches are past-tense forms: covered, invited, divided, advised, and devoted all fit the fixed V/D slots. The list is narrower than the neighboring V-third, S-final pattern, which has 137 matches, but it still mixes familiar verbs with less common tournament entries. Several candidates are easy to recognize, while others are chiefly useful for word-game play.

7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and D as the 7th letter

• Exactly 65 tournament-dictionary words match the V-third, D-final pattern.
• Collins accepts 63; NWL2023 accepts 53; ENABLE accepts 49.
• Eighteen matches rank among the common English words by frequency.
• R begins 14 matches, ahead of D with 10; L starts six.
• UNVEXED, INVEXED, and UNVAXED each score 18 points.

Which familiar words fit this pattern?

Familiar matches tend to read as completed actions: revised, invaded, revived, devised, severed, and hovered all finish in D after V in slot three. Several are easy to parse as verb forms, which makes the fixed ending less restrictive than it first looks. The pattern also includes adjectives such as invalid, so do not assume every candidate is a past tense.

R is the leading first letter, with 14 matches; D follows with 10, while L has six. That makes R a strong place to scan when you know only the middle and final positions. The neighboring V-third, S-final pattern has 137 matches, more than twice this set.

Which matches score the most, and where are they accepted?

UNVEXED, INVEXED, and UNVAXED share the top tile score at 18 points. REVOKED and INVOKED score 15, while FAVORED reaches 14. The point leaders are less familiar than covered or invited, so treat them as scoring candidates rather than dependable everyday vocabulary.

A high tile total matters only when your game accepts the word and your board offers a useful placement.

Collins includes 63 matches, compared with 53 in NWL2023 and 49 in ENABLE, so a candidate's availability depends on the ruleset. The union count of 65 does not mean every entry is accepted everywhere.
