A quick statistical tour

A few numbers before you scroll: of the 277 words here, more begin with V than any other letter (277 entries), and 0 start with a vowel. The top scorer on the page is VEEJAY at 19 points before any board multipliers, so if those tiles are on your rack, that is the play to look for.

Three easy picks from this list

When the rack looks hopeless, VAINER (6 letters, 9 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
VALETS — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
VALINE earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Five more everyday options from the same list: VALISE (9), VALORS (9), VALOUR (9), VALSES (9), VALUER (9).

Playing 6-letter V words

Fixing both the length (6) and the first letter (V) is the fastest filter in word games. In Wordle it is the position after a green V: every remaining possibility is on this page, so guess to split the pool, not to gamble. In crosswords, a 6-square entry starting at a solved V rarely survives contact with this list still ambiguous.
