7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and G as the 6th letter

The pattern leaves a compact set, from familiar anchors like SAVINGS and REVENGE to less everyday entries such as INVEIGH and OUVRAGE. Collins includes all 18 words; NWL2023 accepts 14, while ENABLE accepts 12. Only 2 entries meet the common group, so expect several unfamiliar plays among the matches.

7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and G as the 6th letter

• The tournament-dictionary count for this pattern is 18.
• Collins has 18 matches, compared with 14 in NWL2023 and 12 in ENABLE.
• Twelve matches end in S, including SAVINGS, LIVINGS, and RAVINGS.
• INVEIGH, HAVINGS, and WAVINGS each score 14 points.
• Only 2 of the matches qualify as common words by frequency.

Which endings appear most often?

S is the clear ending to check first: it closes 12 of the 18 matches. The other six divide into four words ending in E, one ending in A, and one ending in H. That split makes a known final S a strong filter, but it does not identify a single answer.

SAVINGS, REVENGE, DIVULGE, and DIVERGE are recognizable examples with different endings. Several S-final entries share an -INGS shape, including GIVINGS, LOVINGS, and WAVINGS. When a rack or puzzle supplies the third and sixth letters, test the whole pattern before relying on a familiar ending.

How can you use the pattern in a word game?

For a board or clue written _ _ V _ _ G _, check the final tile early: S covers two-thirds of these matches. The three top scorers, INVEIGH, HAVINGS, and WAVINGS, each reach 14 points before any board-square bonuses, so the pattern can offer scoring options beyond the familiar examples.

The limitation is familiarity: only 2 entries are common, and Collins has more matches than either NWL2023 or ENABLE. Check your game's word list before committing to an obscure play. Compared with the 100 words in the R-third, G-sixth sibling pattern, this V pattern is notably narrow.
