Here is the complete list of four-letter words containing J: 98 words in total. We sort common words to the top because they are the ones you are most likely to be looking for, whether you are solving a puzzle or checking a play. Words such as JOKE and JUMP lead the way. If you need something more specific, the search box accepts your own letters with question marks for blanks and applies this page's constraint automatically.

How to use this page

The quickest route to an answer is the search box: enter your letters, use a question mark for a blank, and the list shrinks to the playable words. If you would rather browse, the chips below are sorted with common words first, and the related links lead to neighbouring lists for other letters and lengths.

Tips

Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.

Questions

Which four-letter words containing J are the most common?

JOKE, JUMP and JUNK are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.

Can I search this list with my own letters?

Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the four-letter words containing J you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
