Playing words that start with VO

Leading with VO lets you hook onto open columns and reach premium squares. Scan the high-scoring entries above first — they offer the best return when you have the tiles.

This list by the numbers

A few numbers before you scroll: the 362 words here run from 3 to 15 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (59 entries). Wordle players have 27 five-letter options, and there are 47 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is VOCALIZATIONS at 27 points before multipliers.

For quick reference, the top of the score table reads: VOCALIZATIONS (27), VOLATILIZABLE (27), VOLATILIZATIONS (27), VOUCHSAFEMENTS (27), VOCALIZATION (26). At 15 letters, VOICELESSNESSES is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 15. The most useful tiles to hold for this list are V, O and I, which appear in 362, 362 and 224 of the words respectively.

Three words worth learning first

When the rack looks hopeless, VOILES (6 letters, 9 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
VOLANT — a 6-letter, 9-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
VOLOST earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.

Five more everyday options from the same list: VOLTES (9), VOLUTE (9), VOTERS (9), VOILA (8), VOILE (8).

Learning words through VO

Letter chunks like VO are how vocabulary compounds: learn the pattern once and every word built on it gets easier to recall and to spell. Read down this list and you will see the same rhythm repeat across lengths — that repetition is exactly what makes these words stick for spelling bees, ESL study and crossword pattern-matching alike.
