The Q is worth ten points, and every word on this page contains one. Most also contain a U, because that is how English spells the sound, but the list includes the Q-without-U words as well so you can see the full picture in one place. The shortest entries, QI and QAT and QUA, are the ones that rescue a stuck rack. Common words such as QUIT, QUIZ, QUEEN and EQUAL come next, and the long tail runs through scientific and borrowed vocabulary that most people will only ever meet in a crossword. If you have a Q and want to know what to do with it, type your letters into the search box at the top of the page and the tool will show you every word you can make right now, scored and sorted. The separate list of Q words without U covers the special cases in more detail.

How to use this page
The list is computed from the full dictionary using the rule described above, so it is complete. Words are shown with their classic tile scores, and any word with a link opens a page of everything its letters can make.
Tips
The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
