What the Letter Pair Tells You

The pair mixes a consonant with a vowel, which gives the words a natural, easy to pronounce rhythm, as in EVILS, AVIAN and EVICT. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often S, N and T, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

The first box is the biggest unknown, and E, A and I are the strongest openers to test. After that, test S in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed V and I do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with V as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with I as the 3rd letter.
