Words that contain both E and V come up constantly in tile games, crosswords and daily letter puzzles, and this page gathers all 292 of the five-letter ones. The most useful are the common words at the top of the list; the rare ones at the bottom are worth knowing when you need to hook onto an awkward board position. JIVEY is the top scorer here, worth 18 points before any board multiplier.
How to use this page
Start by scanning the common words at the top; they are the ones most likely to be accepted and remembered. Then check the quick facts for the highest-scoring options. If you have a rack in front of you, the search box applies this page's constraint to your letters and returns only what you can play.
Tips
The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
Questions
