Which 7-letter words have V third and S seventh?

The 137 matches include obvious, devices, reviews, savings, reveals, invites, and invests. Their first two letters vary even though the third and final positions stay fixed.

V is a narrow clue next to its siblings. R in third place with a final S matches 1235 words and N matches 1019, roughly nine times and seven times as many as the 137 here. C starts 13 of the matches and S starts 11, so after R, D and L the openings thin out quickly.

Use the opening letters to prune candidates: R heads 21 matches, D 18, and L 14; obvious, devices, and reviews are recognizable checks.

How to play the V-third, S-final pattern

Start with recognizable fits such as obvious, devices, or savings, then test their opening letters against your rack or board. R is the strongest starting-letter route, while D is the next most productive. Reserve the final S first, then check for V in slot three; SAVINGS and ADVERTS show different openings.
