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

The pattern is more selective than many seven-letter letter-pair searches: just 33 tournament-dictionary words fit. Eight are among the commonest English words, and several familiar answers share the ADVISED or REVISED shape. Most entries begin with D or R, while S is the most frequent final letter.

How many 7-letter words with V third and S fifth?

• There are 33 matching words across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
• ADVISED, REVISED, DEVISED, and ADVISER are recognizable examples.
• Eight matches are common; many others are specialist or less familiar forms.
• D begins 10 words, ahead of R with 7.
• S ends 12 words, followed by R with 10.

Which words fit this V-and-S pattern?

Start with the ADVI- family: ADVISED, ADVISER, ADVISOR, ADVISES, and ADVISEE all put V in the third slot and S in the fifth. REVISED and DEVISED follow the same visible pattern, so checking familiar word families can narrow a blank-letter puzzle quickly.

The ending gives another useful clue. Twelve matches finish in S, including ADVISES, DEVISES, and REVISES; 10 finish in R, including ADVISER, ADVISOR, and REVISER. If the final tile is uncertain, S and R are the strongest candidates in this set.

Which matching words score the most?

FAVISMS leads the tile-score ranking at 15 points, with CIVISMS next at 14. VAVASOR, FAVUSES, DIVISIM, and WAVESON each score 13, while ADVISED and DEVISED score 12 apiece. These less familiar options matter most when a board rewards unusual letter combinations.

Dictionary coverage differs by game: Collins includes all 33 matches, compared with 30 in NWL2023 and 29 in ENABLE. Only eight entries count as common words, so do not assume every fit will feel familiar; check your game's word list before playing a rare form.
