5 Letter Words Ending With V

Every five-letter word that ends with V and that Wordle accepts as a guess — 5 in total. Of those, 0 can actually be the answer, which makes this one of the most restrictive patterns in the game.

Possible Wordle answers ending with V

There are none. No word ending with V appears on Wordle’s solution list, so every word below is a legal guess but none of them can be the answer. That makes them useful as probe words and useless as final guesses.

How to use this list

Since none of these can be the answer, a confirmed V in that position means you have almost certainly misread a clue — a grey letter treated as yellow, or a letter placed in the wrong slot. It is worth re-checking the board before guessing again.

Cross-reference with our past Wordle answers archive too. Solutions never repeat, so any word that has already been used can be crossed off no matter how well it fits.

This is one of the rarest patterns in the game. With so few options, a single confirmed V in that position narrows the puzzle dramatically — often to a one-guess finish.

Frequently asked questions

How many 5 letter words ending with V are there?
Wordle accepts 5 of them as guesses, and 0 of those can be the answer.

Are all of these real words?
They come from Wordle’s own accepted-guess dictionary, which is broader than everyday English and includes some genuinely obscure entries. Every one will be accepted by the game.

Why are the two lists different sizes?
Wordle deliberately separates what you may guess from what the answer can be, so that obscure words stay playable without ever being the solution.

Do Wordle answers ever repeat?
No. Once a word has been used it is retired, which is why the archive of past answers is worth checking.
