The frame _ U _ J _ _ _ looks impossible until you spot the shortcut: OUTJ- and SUBJ- prefixes do most of the work. A J sitting in fourth place is worth 8 points on its own, so even the humble entries here average 17.3 points.

The whole U-J list in brief

  • Collins accepts 14 of the 15, NWL2023 accepts 8 and ENABLE accepts 7.
  • O opens 5 words, and B, M and S open 2 each.
  • 9 words end in S and 2 end in T.
  • The average score is 17.3, with MUZJIKS at 29.

Which prefix produces the most of them?

OUT- wins, with five words: OUTJUMP, OUTJEST, OUTJETS, OUTJUTS and OUTJINX. Each one adds a J-led verb to the OUT- prefix, which puts the J exactly in fourth place.

SUBJECT and SUBJOIN are the SUB- pair, and BUNJEES with BUNJIES share a BUNJ- opening. Between them, those three small groups account for 9 of the 15 words.

The other six are one-offs, among them KUNJOOS, GURJUNS, MUSJIDS, MUZJIKS and WUDJULA. Learn the three prefixes above and you can rebuild most of this list from memory at the board.

What do these words score?

MUZJIKS leads at 29, because a 10-point Z and an 8-point J sit beside a 5-point K. OUTJINX follows at 21, using the 8-point X.

SUBJECT, OUTJUMP, WUDJULA and KUNJOOS all tie at 18. SUBJECT is the only common word in the group, so the others are specialist finds. Nine of the 15 end in S, so a plural check is the quickest way to confirm a candidate: OUTJETS, OUTJUTS, BUNJIES, GURJUNS and MUSJIDS all qualify.

Note

MUZJIKS, OUTJINX, SUBJECT and OUTJUMP are safe across the major lists. Words like WUDJULA, KUNJOOS and BUNJEES are valid in Collins only, and a North American game will reject them.
