Strategy for this list
J is worth 8 in Scrabble and starts a small but useful set of ~800 words. The J-two-letter word JO makes every board with an O a potential J-drop. J-openers with premium potential include JAZZ, JOWLS, JOKE, JUKE — placing J on a double-letter square scores 16 for the J alone. In Wordle, J is one of the rarest opening letters (JUMPY, JELLY are typical J-openers), so a J guess in position 1 is a high-information test in the mid-game.
