How many words with Q are there?

This dictionary contains 2,471 words with a Q in them, and 448 of those are in everyday use. Nearly every one keeps a U straight after the Q, because the pair entered English together from Latin and French. A small group breaks the rule, and a smaller group ends in Q: SUQ, TRANQ and UMIAQ.

The full list

Alphabetical, grouped by first letter. Every word on this page is in the list, nothing is cut off.

Words with Q and no U 21 words

The list word game players actually hunt for: a Q with no U anywhere in the word, so the tile can be played without waiting for its partner. Almost every one arrived in English from Arabic, Hebrew or Albanian, which is why they look invented and are not. A further handful keep the Q clear of the U but park a U later in the word: BUQSHA, BUQSHAS, QIVIUT, QIVIUTS, SUQ, SUQS, UMIAQ and UMIAQS.

Words that end in Q 3 words

Three words, and that is the complete set. SUQ is a market, TRANQ is a clipped tranquilliser, and UMIAQ is an open boat. A Q in the final position is the rarest place for the rarest letter, which is exactly why these three win challenges.

suq
tranq
umiaq

Q is worth ten points in most tile games, level with Z at the top of the scale, and it is the only letter that arrives with a spelling rule attached: it wants a U. That one habit is why a Q is either your best turn of the game or a tile you are still holding at the end, and why the short sections above are worth reading before you need them rather than during a turn.

For a crossword or a Wordle grid the useful fact is where the Q sits. It opens a word far more often than it closes one, and the words carrying it in the middle are built from a small set of roots that keep reappearing: QUEST, QUIRE and QUOTA turn up inside longer entries again and again. Type a fragment you already know into the filter and these 2,471 words collapse to something you can read in a glance.
