Words That Start With V — Scrabble & Word Games

V is the 21st most common letter in English at about 1.0%. It is one of the least common consonants, but it is also a relatively late addition to English orthography — for centuries V and U were the same letter. V is never doubled in English (no “VV”), and V rarely ends a word (SAVE, HAVE, LOVE all have a silent final E for this reason).

In Scrabble, V is worth 4 points with 2 V tiles in the bag. V is a classic “stuck” tile — it rarely fits into bingo stems, and V combines awkwardly with most other letters. Short V-words memorised by players include VAW, VAV, VIA, VIE, VEX, VUG.

Productive V-prefixes: VICE- (in place of — VICE-PRESIDENT, VICE-CHAIR). V is the initial of several classic Latin-origin roots: VIA-family (VIA, VIADUCT, DEVIATE), VID– / VIS– (see — VIDEO, VISION, VISIBLE), VERB– (word — VERBAL, VERBOSE). V-initial high-value Scrabble words include VEXING, VIZIER, VIZOR.
