Playing the J well
The J is worth 8 points in Scrabble and 10 in Words With Friends, but it is the hardest of the big tiles to place. There is only one two-letter J word in our dictionary, JO, so you usually need at least three letters to play it.
Short words like JAB, JAG, JAM, JAR, JAW, JAY, JET, JIB, JIG, JOB, JOG, JOT, JOW, JOY and JUG are your best friends. Look for an open vowel on the board and build through it.
