Strategy for this list
V is worth 4 in Scrabble and starts ~1,800 words. V has no legal two-letter words in either dictionary, which is why it's often called a bingo-killer letter — holding a V blocks a bingo shape. V-openers with premium potential include VIZIER, VIZOR, VIXEN. In Wordle, V is a rare opening letter — testing it isolates a small candidate pool.
