Quick answer

Are there any 2 letter Scrabble words with V?

No. Neither Scrabble US nor Collins accepts a two-letter word containing V. The V tile needs a word of at least three letters. Browse words with V when you need a longer play.

Why two-letter words matter

Short words often score little by themselves, but they fit into crowded parts of the board and make parallel plays possible. A well-placed two-letter word can score in both directions.

QI, ZA, JO, and XI give you short homes for awkward tiles. Check which dictionary your game uses before trying a Collins-only word such as CH or ZO.
