Why players ask
JO is a sweetheart, from Scots, and it pluralises to JOES. It is the standard way to unload a J, which is otherwise one of the hardest tiles to place: eight points sitting on a rack doing nothing. Players reach for it constantly and it is old enough on the lists that nobody challenges it any more.
