Words with Q
Q is one of the four 10-point tiles in Scrabble. The catch: most Q words also need a U, which slows you down and locks up two of your seven tiles. The list below shows every Q word in the TWL dictionary, sorted by Scrabble score. Pair this with the Q-without-U list and the Q stops being a liability.
1,014 words from the Tournament Word List (TWL) dictionary.
