Words Containing "Q" FAQ

What words containing Q are valid without a U in Scrabble?

"Qi", "qat", "qoph", "qanat", and "qigong" are the main Q-without-U words in official Scrabble dictionaries. "Qi" is the essential one since it is only 2 letters and scores 11 points. These words exist specifically because Q without U is one of the most feared rack situations in Scrabble, and knowing them turns a problem tile into a scoring opportunity.

What common words contain Q in the middle?

"Aqua", "equal", "equip", "liquid", "opaque", "plaque", "roque", "sequel", "squat", "squeak", "squeal", "squeeze", "squid", "square", "squire", "squirm", and "unique" all have Q in the middle. In crosswords, "aqua" and "equal" appear very frequently because their vowel patterns create clean crossing opportunities.

How do you play Q tiles effectively in Scrabble?

The key is not panicking. If you have a U, words like "quiz", "quid", "quip", and "quaff" are solid plays. If you do not have a U, "qi" on a double or triple letter square scores 22 to 33 points from two letters. Never hold Q hoping for a perfect play. A quick Q dump early is almost always better than sitting on it for three turns.
