Words that contain both J and U come up constantly in tile games, crosswords and daily letter puzzles, and this page gathers all 47 of the five-letter ones.

JUJUS is the top scorer here, worth 19 points before any board multiplier.
How to use this page
Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both J and U, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.
Tips
Every score badge on this page is the sum of the tile values in the word, with no board multipliers applied. Classic tiles value the common letters at one point and the awkward letters higher, up to ten for Q and Z. Blank tiles score nothing. The actual points you earn depend on where the word lands, so a modest word on a double-word square beats a high-value word on plain squares. Use the badges to compare words quickly, then check the board for the multiplier that changes the picture.
