7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and N as the 5th letter

The pattern leaves the first, second, fourth, sixth, and final letters open, but the results cluster at the end: 28 words finish in S. Only 6 qualify as common by frequency, while 44 have definitions. That makes familiar picks such as ADVANCE and REVENGE easier to spot among less everyday entries.

How do 7-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and N as the 5th letter end?

S endings dominate: SAVINGS, INVENTS, and LIVINGS all fit, and the pattern has 28 S-final words. D is a distant second with 8, including DIVINED and LIVENED.

The less common endings still offer recognizable options. REVENUE and ADVANCE end in E, while DIVINER ends in R. Only 5 words finish in E, and 3 finish in R, so check the final tile before searching the rarer groups.

Which matches score well, and what should you watch for?

For Scrabble, VIVENCY scores 18 points and JUVENAL scores 17 before board bonuses. BIVINYL and COVYNES each score 15, but ADVANCE and SEVENTH are more familiar lower-scoring alternatives at 13.

A useful rack-reading rule: test an S ending early, since it covers 28 of the 52 matches. Still, do not treat that pattern as a guarantee; the list spans several dictionaries, with 50 Collins entries and 41 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

This pattern has no answers in the five-letter game or allowed guesses. For broader play, compare the 63 six-letter matches with V third and N fifth, or browse the neighboring seven-letter pattern with T in the third position.
