Words Ending With "V" FAQ

What words ending in V are valid in Scrabble?

"Dev", "lav", "nav", "rev" are short plays. "Chav", "perv", "spiv", and "waiv" appear in some dictionaries. V-ending words are uncommon in English, which is part of why V is a tricky tile. Most V tiles end up in the middle of words rather than at the end.

Why are V-ending words so rare in English?

English spelling conventions rarely allow a word to end in V without a following E. Words like "give", "live", "love", "have", and "drive" would all end in V if not for the silent E. This is why genuine V-ending words are mostly short informal terms or borrowings from other languages.

Are there any V-ending words worth knowing for Scrabble?

"Rev" is the most useful one since it is a common word and a solid 3-letter play. "Lav" (British slang for lavatory) is valid in most Scrabble dictionaries. "Spiv" (a small-time criminal) is another valid option. These are niche but worth knowing for those moments when V lands in your rack and the board is tight.
