Words with V and Z in them begin at 5 letters and reach 15. Both letters have to appear in the same word, which rules out most of the dictionary and leaves a set small enough to be worth reading.
The highest scorer of the set is ZYZZYVAS at 44 points in Scrabble and 43 in Words With Friends. VIZIR is the shortest of them at 17 points in Scrabble, 18 in Words With Friends, which makes it the one to remember when there is barely any room left on the board.
Both scores accompany every word, and the shortest come first, so a word that fits the gap in front of you takes a moment to find.

FAQs

2How many points are V and Z worth together?
Together the two letters come to 14 points in Scrabble and 15 points in Words With Friends. That is before the rest of the word is counted, so most words holding both finish on a much higher total.
3What is the longest word with V and Z in it?
The longest is CIVILIANIZATION, which runs to 15 letters and scores 29 points in Scrabble. A word that size needs a stretch of open board, so it comes up far less than the shorter ones.
