DVS (Devious) Words

I am calling DVS (devious) those words that can be expressed as a sequence of letters and digits, each pronounced separately. I have arranged them here by length, shortest first, and within length in alphabetical order. Some of them may not be actual words, but they sound like words to me :-)
