JAK (noun): immense East Indian fruit resembling breadfruit; it contains an edible pulp and nutritious seeds that are commonly roasted.

In standard Scrabble scoring, JAK totals 14 points before multipliers. That sum uses official letter values: common tiles (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1, while D and G are 2, B, C, M, P are 3, F, H, V, W, Y are 4, K is 5, J and X are 8, and Q and Z are 10. JAK includes premium tiles (J), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.

JAK is 3 letters long, begins with J, ends with K, and sorts to the alphagram AJK. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 2 consonants.

Among 18 tracked 3-letter entries, JAK ranks by raw score (14 points). Anagram alternatives include KAJ — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. Similar-length words in the same dictionary include QQV, XXX, XYZ, SQQ; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.

Strategically, JAK carries 1 vowel and 2 consonants. High-value letters (J) make JAK attractive when you can land a multiplier — but harder to play from a mixed rack. Hooks on J or K are common study angles; browse words starting with J and words ending with K to rehearse parallel sets.
