This is starting to feel like one of the boxes my brother and I did. The rule seems to have multiple parts to it; ie. "A word is in the box if it has an I and a V but not if it has one or the other and not both; and if a word has a V without an I then it is outside the box; but there are other letters besides V that the I can be coupled with under certain circumstances which will allow it to be in the box."

I'll summarize what we have so far.
