About JET
JET is a fast aircraft, a stream of liquid or gas, and a hard black stone polished for jewelry; as a verb its forms include JETTED, JETTING and JETS. JET uses the J with two one-point tiles, E and T. It is a safe, common word, and the J at the front can land on a letter bonus.

JET scores 10 points
Before any bonus squares: J 8 + E 1 + T 1 = 10. On a double-word square that's 20, on a triple-word 30, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: JET as the first play
Later in the game, put the J on a 3L square and JET is worth 26 before any word bonus.
