J Is Unusually Busy at the Front of EH Words

J takes the first box in two of the six, which is remarkable for a letter this rare. L takes another two, leaving one for R and one for V.

For Scrabble that matters. J is one of the highest value tiles and it is awkward to place, so a five letter word using it is worth knowing even when the word itself is obscure.

With six words in the group and no common member among them, this is a pattern to look up rather than reason towards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a LEHR

An oven that cools glass slowly so it does not crack. LEHRS is the plural and the form that fits here.

Is JEHAD the same as jihad

Yes, it is an older transliteration of the same Arabic word. Both spellings turn up in English word lists.

What does REHEM mean

To hem something again. It is an ordinary re prefix on an ordinary verb, which makes it the plainest word in the group.

Why is J so useful here

J carries one of the highest tile values in Scrabble and it is awkward to place. Two of these six use it, a high rate for a group this small.
