Eighteen words put D first and V third, and the DIV opening takes the largest share. Only vowels appear in the second box.

The I Branch Leads D and V Words

I takes the second box in seven of the eighteen, thirty nine percent, and E follows on five. O, A and U share the rest.

DIVAN, DIVED, DIVER, DIVES, DIVAS and DIVOT all come out of the I branch, and most of them differ only at the end.

So confirming the second letter narrows the page usefully, but it does not finish the job. The DIV stem then behaves like every other short verb stem on this site.

  • DIVER
  • DIVAN
  • DEVIL
  • DUVET
  • DIVOT

What Sits Outside the DIV Family in D and V Words

DEVIL is the most common word on the page and it comes from the E branch. DUVET is the lone U entry, DAVIT and DAVEN carry A, and DOVES and DOVER carry O. Any of those splits the list better than another DIV guess.

The Fourth Box Gives D and V Words Away

E fills the fourth box in nine of the eighteen, fifty percent, so testing it is close to wasted. N, T and S each close four words, which makes the last box the more useful target.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DEVIL the best opening

It is the most common word here and it sits outside the crowded DIV branch, so it tells you more per turn than DIVER or DIVES would.

What is a DIVOT

A piece of turf cut out by a golf club. It is one of the DIV words and the only one ending in T.

Does DIVVY count

Yes, it is an informal verb meaning to divide up. It is the one word here that repeats a letter, so a visible double settles the page instantly.
