About AJEE
AJEE means askew or to one side, another spelling of AGEE. What makes it special is the J: AJEE lets you put down the 8-point J along with an A and two E tiles, so a rack like A, E, E and J turns into a strong play. It has no plural. If AGEE is easier to remember, just swap the G for a J.

AJEE scores 11 points
Before any bonus squares: A 1 + J 8 + E 1 + E 1 = 11. On a double-word square that's 22, on a triple-word 33, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: AJEE as the first play
Later in the game, put the J on a 3L square and AJEE is worth 27 before any word bonus.
Change one tile
Same letters, other words
No other word in the list uses exactly the letters A, J, E and E.
Memory tip
AJEE means crooked, the same word as AGEE. It is a rare chance to play the J with three vowels.
