How to use this page
Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both C and J, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make.

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.
