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

With V fixed in position three and L in position six, the pattern leaves 38 seven-letter options. REVEALS, VIVIDLY, LOVABLE, MOVABLE and NOVELLA show the range, from familiar inflections and adjectives to a noun; frequency is the catch, since only four entries rank among common English words, leaving many answers more at home in a word game than everyday conversation.

The pattern at a glance

• 38 matches appear in at least one tournament dictionary.
• Collins includes 37 matches, NWL2023 includes 30, and ENABLE includes 27.
• Just 4 matches are common; the other 34 fall outside that frequency group.
• VIVIDLY and MOVABLY tie for the top score at 17 points.
• Y is the most frequent final letter, ahead of E: 12 words end in Y and 11 in E.

Which endings appear most often?

Y and E dominate the final position: together they account for 23 of the 38 matches. VIVIDLY ends in Y, while MOVABLE ends in E. A and S each finish 6 words, as in NOVELLA and REVEALS; I closes 2, and T closes just 1.

That split gives you a practical way to work a clue. Once V and L are fixed, test Y or E first if the final tile is unknown. The pattern is not limited to those endings, though: NOVELLA and REVEALS show why checking A and S still matters.

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

For a puzzle, write the known shape as __V__L_ and compare each candidate against your confirmed letters. VIVIDLY and MOVABLY lead the scoring results at 17 points apiece; SAVVILY follows at 16. Those scores make the double-V words stand out, even though they are not the most familiar choices.

The list has a real frequency limit: only 4 entries are common English words, while the rest are less likely to come to mind quickly. Dictionary coverage also varies. Collins has 37 matches, but NWL2023 has 30, so check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar candidate.
