Playing the J well
- There is only one J in a Scrabble set, worth 8 points (10 in Words With Friends). Place it on a double or triple letter square and score it in both directions if you can.
- JO, JAB, JAM, JAW, JOB, JOT, JOY and RAJ/TAJ are the short plays that turn a J into 20+ points on a premium square.
- J has no easy hooks: almost nothing can be added in front of a J word, so plan where it goes rather than waiting for the perfect spot.
Got a full rack? The Scrabble word finder ranks every play by points, and the word checker settles a challenge.
