287 five letter words begin with V, and only four letters ever follow it in any number.
I takes about thirty five percent, E twenty five, A twenty one and O fifteen. U and R together account for barely three.
V forms no consonant blend at the start of an English word, so the page is effectively four vowel branches and a rounding error.
VIDEO, VISIT, VALUE, VIEWS and VOICE are the entries you are most likely to want, and each sits on a different branch.
V appears in a small share of five letter words overall, so opening with a V word rules out very little unless you already know the V is there.
Once it is confirmed in the first box, though, this page narrows fast, because four branches is as few as any opening letter offers.
VISIT covers the largest branch but repeats its I. VALUE tests five distinct letters and reaches the A branch, which makes it the better opener of the two.
VOICE is the sensible follow up, since its O and C reach a branch neither of the first two touches.
Between those three you have covered every branch on the page that holds more than a handful of words.
V is a voiced fricative and English does not stack it with another consonant at the start of a word. Every entry here takes a vowel second.
No, all five letters are distinct. That makes it a clean opener as well as the most common word in the group.
The O branch. VOICE and VOTES lead it, but below those it thins out faster than the I or A branches do.
