Only six words put J first and D third, which makes this one of the shortest lists in the family.
U takes the second box in three of the six, A takes two and O takes one. JUDGE, JUDAS and JUDOS come from the U side, JADED and JADES from the A side, and JODEL is the lone O entry.
It is by far the most common word on the page and the only one you would produce without thinking. If your puzzle has J first and D third confirmed, JUDGE is the guess to make before anything else.
They share four letters and split at the end. JADED repeats its D across the third and fifth boxes without the two ever touching, which is why it does not count as a doubled letter.
E fills the fourth box in three of the six and S closes three. With a list this short those figures describe the whole page, so one confirmed letter usually settles it.
Not always, but it is the only common word here. JADED is the realistic alternative and the two differ in every box after the J.
A variant spelling of yodel. It is the only word on this page with O in the second box.
J is the rarest opening letter in English and requiring D in the third box leaves almost nothing. Six words is the entire pattern.
