Because every word ends in T, the pattern leans on a few suffixes. -LET gives 5 words and -VIEST gives another 5, all of them superlatives. Together they account for half of the list, and the rest are one-offs, many of them Collins-only specialities.

V-third, T-last words at a glance

  • Dictionaries: Collins accepts 18 of the 20, NWL2023 accepts 13 and ENABLE accepts 11.
  • REVISIT is the single everyday word.
  • The top scores are AKVAVIT and JIVIEST on 17, then BEVOMIT on 14.

  • The mean score is 11.7 points, while REVISIT, the everyday word, makes 10.

Which words end in -LET and -VIEST?

-LET gives COVELET, DEVILET, DOVELET, RIVULET and WAVELET. All five name something small, such as a small wave in WAVELET or a small dove in DOVELET.

-VIEST gives DOVIEST, JIVIEST, LOVIEST, RAVIEST and WAVIEST. Each has V in third place and I in fourth, so the pair VI sits at the centre of the superlative.

DOV- opens three words (DOVECOT, DOVELET and DOVIEST) and REV- opens two (REVISIT and REVUIST). LEVERET and RIVERET differ only in their first two letters.

By first letter, D opens five words and R opens five, which together make half the list.

What are the ten remaining words?

AKVAVIT, BEVOMIT, INVENIT and REVISIT end in -IT. DEVIANT and ENVAULT, DOVECOT, LEVERET, RIVERET and REVUIST complete the list.

AKVAVIT is the highest scorer, with the 5-point K and two 4-point Vs giving 17. JIVIEST ties it because of the 8-point J.

JIVIEST gets its 17 from the 8-point J, and AKVAVIT from the K and two Vs. Both beat REVISIT, the one everyday word, which scores 10, by seven points.
