Words Starting with QU
QU words are essential Scrabble vocabulary. The Q tile (worth 10 points) almost always requires a U in English, making QU- words a critical group to master. QUEEN, QUEST, QUICK, QUIET, QUITE, QUOTA, QUOTE, QUIZ, and QUAFF are among the most valuable QU plays.
Strategy Tip for QU Words
QUIZ (22 pts), QUAFF (21 pts), and QUARTZ (24 pts) are the highest-scoring QU words. Always save a U tile when holding Q — losing the Q without a U at game end costs you 10 points plus a 10-point deduction.
