V in third place and I just before the end gives a short list with some unusual shapes. Four words carry two Vs, six end in -IN, and only INVALID and REVISIT are everyday words. The rest reward players who know their Scrabble-only vocabulary.

V-third, I-sixth words in brief

  • Dictionary split: 19 words in Collins, 14 in NWL2023, 12 in ENABLE.
  • Everyday vocabulary is thin, with only INVALID and REVISIT.
  • N ends 6 words, T ends 4, A ends 3, and C, D and E end 2 each.
  • VIVIFIC leads on 18, then JAVELIN and AKVAVIT on 17, and DOVEKIE and FIVEPIN on 15.
  • The mean score is 12.6 points.

Which endings can you expect?

Six words end in N: FIVEPIN, JAVELIN, LEVULIN, NAVARIN, RAVELIN and SAVARIN. Of those, -LIN covers JAVELIN, LEVULIN and RAVELIN, and -ARIN covers NAVARIN and SAVARIN.

Four words end in T: AKVAVIT, BEVOMIT, INVENIT and REVISIT. Then come A with DAVIDIA, NOVALIA and VIVARIA, and the pairs C, D and E.

Scores sit in a narrow band. From VIVIFIC at 18 down to DAVIDIA at 12, the top ten span just six points, so the J in JAVELIN and the K in AKVAVIT matter more than the length.

Which words carry two Vs?

AKVAVIT, VIVARIA, VIVERID and VIVIFIC each use V twice. VIVIFIC scores 18, with two 4-point Vs, a 4-point F and a 3-point C. AKVAVIT makes 17 and VIVERID 14.

Double-V words are awkward in Scrabble, because the standard set holds just 2 V tiles. You need both of them, or a blank, to play one.
