Strategy for this list
The J is worth 8 points in Scrabble and, unlike Q and Z, has a healthy supply of valid two- and three-letter words: JO, HAJ, JAB, JAG, JAM, JAR, JAY, JET, JEU, JIB, JIG, JOB, JOE, JOG, JOT, JOY, JUG, JUS. The JO hook is particularly valuable — every board with an O gains a potential JO play. Best J placements are on double-letter squares in a lane that also crosses another word: J(8)×2 = 16 for the J alone, plus the parallel-word score. In bingos, J appears in JEALOUS, JUSTICE, JOURNEY and REJECT — worth remembering because a J-bingo often opens 90-plus point turns.
