A yellow V in Wordle is best placed by looking at its neighbours, the real clue to 5 letter words with V.
Those neighbours are vowels most of the time, with a vowel either side of the V in NEVER and GIVEN.
Vowels on both sides of the V, the way NEVER spells it, are a safer bet for the next guess than consonant blends.

FAQs
What are 5 letter words with V?
There are 1,067 of them. The everyday ones include NEVER, EVERY, VIDEO, GIVEN and LEVEL.
How many 5 letter words have V in them?
1,067 in total, and 149 of them are on the Wordle answer list.
Which 5 letter words with V are Wordle answers?
149 of them have been answers, among them LEAVE, ABOVE, EVENT, MOVIE and VALUE.
Can a Wordle answer contain V?
Yes. NEVER, EVERY and VIDEO all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.
Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. NEVER and EVERY are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is CHIVY really a word?
Yes. Annoy continually or chronically. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
NEVER. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.
Are all of these accepted as guesses?
Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. YRIVD and YOVEN are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.
Which of these would most players overlook?
CAVIL, HOVEL and KNAVE. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
