I don´t think SJOE would be much cause for concern. There would be many players on here who know all the four letter words containing J and all or most of the 5 letter ones too. And as Monty points out it´s a hook for JOE (with an S no less), making it very useful.
The relative obscurity of the words played is probably only a limited factor in deciding if a word is suspect. How many of us know the meanings of OE (a whirlpool off the Faroe islands), QI (a chinese word for lifeforce), AA (volcanic rock I think) and heaven knows how many two and three letter words. Yet we use these words all the time because they are the most useful. In fact I was quite surprised a couple of weeks ago when an experienced player at a high level mentioned in the chat that he hadn´t heard YGO before.
So a word like SJOE, may be obscure in terms of usage but if you´re going to make a systematic study of words for the purposes of Scrabble or WF it would be one you would learn quite early.

I get a buzz from unexpected hooks on words, and SJOE was quite exciting when I first encountered it. JOE, JEE and ZEE are fairly common plays but you can sometimes catch your opponent out with SJOE, AJEE and MZEE if the opportunity arises. I´m sure there are a zillion others but those were a couple good ones I could think up on the spot. Cheers.

Hi agent. The problem with wordfeud is that if you have time you can try every combination of letters until you hit the jackpot. It doesn´t necessarily mean they are cheating but it´s not really.a test of ones knowledge. One up from a cheating app in my opinion. It´s a shame wordfeud lets you do this, unlike playing in a scrabble board. Personally, I´d prefer it allowed you one attempt and if the word isn´t correct, you miss a turn... Hey ho

Hi agent - it must have been sjoe because it doesn´t take an S on the end but anyway.... sjoe is a word I regularly play. I think it is an Afrikaans greeting - funnily enough I think |I mentioned in a post several seasons ago. Keight - I didn´t know it until several seasons ago. I was behind and looking for rescue. My opponent played across leaving a TW open. My only hope was to utilise it. It didn´t take me very long at all to take a punt on Keight...K on a TL and playing down to close off the last word my opponent had played. I thought probably false hope but oh joy!! It played and won me the lead and the game:)) It is a ketch (sailing boat) and also an archaic form of the word catch:)
Btw if you suspect underhand play then you should email the judge as per the rules rather than post on the comm page. There are some v good players in your group, 2 of whom I am quite likely to have played sjoe against in my time.
