At least twenty-one words start by using the three letters VER, not including simple word variations. Here is a list of them, which could come in handy for a crossword puzzle:

Vera, Veracious, Veracity, Veranda, Verb, Verbal, Verbatim, Verbose, Verdict, Verge, Verdant, Verify, Veritable, Vernacular, Versatile, Verse, Version, Versus, Vertebrae, Vertical, Very

A number of these words relate to language or speech. In addition to those listed above, there are also some names; the town of Mt. Vernon, the NEC Versa laptop computer, and so on.

A few words sound like they start with VER, but actually don't (like "virtue").
