How did you settle on jury? Notably it seems to be the only word that is more than one syllable.

And see sibling thread suggesting “jree” like “tree”, which is similar to how it sounds when you’re going quickly.
Edit: For people suggesting new words, please read my comments downthread. Also the biggest complaint I’ve had about jury in practice is it can sound similar to “three”. Not a ton of words are spelled with J, and when doing vim input it’s faster to use numbers or a repeat command than say the letter repeatedly. So as it’s a lower priority word to trim half a syllable on, it’s worth getting it right if you’re going to change it.
The alphabet isn’t strict law, but it’s best to replace individual words after you’ve had specific problems with them and not before, as it’s hard to match the phonetic feel.
For testing juke, I’d take a look at any words in the alphabet that could conflict with it on either side:

I see: cap, each, gust, crunch, quench
I’d say “juke cap juke each juke gust ....” out loud to test it. I’d also test it out loud against every word in the alphabet if it passes the obvious collisions.
Ultimately juke doesn’t pass for me for two reasons:
1. ook is something of a glottal sound, it can be awkward to reset your mouth afterwards when flowing into another letter
2. When chaining with some of them other letters in the alphabet it can sound like you’re saying “Jew”, and it may be confusing to some people if you are saying that repeatedly. “Juice” had a similar effect.
