Words with Q but no U
The ENABLE word list has 21 words that use a Q without a U, from QAT and QAID to TRANQ and QINTAR.
Drawing a Q without a U is the classic Scrabble headache. QAT and QAID are the short ones to memorise. The official Scrabble dictionaries also accept QI, which is newer than the ENABLE list and so is not shown here.
