The letter Q is one of the highest-scoring tiles in Scrabble, worth a hefty 10 points. However, it’s also one of the most difficult letters to play effectively due to its limited word pairings and frequent dependence on the letter U. Players who know short Q words like qi and qat gain a serious advantage, as these allow you to use the letter without needing a U. Because of its high point value, placing Q on a double or triple letter square—or even forming a word across a premium word score—can dramatically shift the momentum of a game in your favor.
To master the letter Q, it’s important to study acceptable Q words and learn how to work them into tight board spaces. Words like quack, quake, quilt, and quote not only score big due to Q’s value, but also give you opportunities to use other common tiles efficiently. When holding a Q, try to save it until you see a strong scoring opportunity or until you have the right letters on your rack. Playing Q well requires patience, planning, and a solid vocabulary, but when used effectively, it can be the game-winning move.
