6-letter words with J as the 1st letter and E as the 2nd letter

Every match begins JE, but the endings split in interesting ways: D and S lead, while only five words finish with E. The set includes familiar choices such as JERSEY and JEWELS alongside less common entries like JEZAIL and JERQUE. Dictionary coverage also varies, so a match in one word game is not automatically accepted in another.
