An Australian Aboriginal word for a possum-skin bag or cloak.
“The elders wrapped themselves in a cooja during the ceremony.”
"Cooja" repeats a letter (4 unique of 5), so it rules out fewer options as an opening guess. Its 3 vowels help pin down vowel positions early. Watch the less-common letter J.
"Cooja" is worth 14 points before board bonuses. It carries the high-value tile J — land it on a premium square for a big swing.
Look up cooja in an authoritative dictionary for full definitions, pronunciation, and etymology.
