Word lists › Q without U

Q words that don't need a U

The Q is worth ten points and is the hardest tile to get rid of. Waiting for a U is how it ends up stuck on your rack at the end of the game.

These are all the words in the list where Q appears without a U after it. The short ones are the workhorses: QI, QAT and QAID get the Q off your rack most often.
