Words Ending With "J" FAQ

What words end with J in Scrabble?

J-ending words are extremely rare in English. "Hajj", "raj", "taj", and "haj" are the main valid ones in most Scrabble dictionaries. "Hadj" is another variant. This makes J-ending words memorable precisely because there are so few of them.

Why are there so few words ending in J?

English words rarely end in J because most J sounds in word endings were historically spelled with a soft G ("judge", "bridge") or with "-ge". The J-ending words that do exist are mostly borrowings from Arabic and Hindi that kept their original spelling when they entered English.

Is it ever worth looking for J-ending words in word games?

In Scrabble, yes, because J scores 8 points. "Raj" on a double word square scores 18 points from three letters. Knowing "taj" and "hajj" means you always have somewhere to put the J even on a tight board. In Wordle, J-ending words are essentially non-existent in the standard word list.
