Only eleven words hold V second and I third, and every one of them opens with a vowel.
All eleven of them begin A, E, I or O, which is unusual even for a group this small. That makes the first box a four way choice and the rest of the word the real work.
A opens four of the eleven, giving AVIAN, AVION, AVISO and AVINE. E opens three with EVICT, EVILS and EVITE, and I and O take two each.
EVICT and EVILS are the two entries in ordinary use. AVIAN is familiar from avian flu, and after those three the page turns specialist quickly.
Ovine means relating to sheep and avian relating to birds. Both belong to a family of adjectives English built from Latin animal names, alongside bovine, canine and equine.
AVINE is a rarer word meaning the same as avian. It sits one letter from AVIAN and adds nothing but confusion.
E closes three of the eleven, ahead of N, T and S on two each. With eight letters in the fourth box, there is little pattern to read.
EVICT. It is the commonest word on the page and its C and T are letters the other entries mostly lack, so a miss still tells you something.
A dispatch boat, or an official notice. It came into English from Spanish and is now rare in both senses.
To avoid or shun, an archaic verb from Latin. Modern English uses evade or avoid instead.
A believer in an old theory that the embryo exists preformed within the egg. It is a term from the history of biology.
