The Qu tile is a single tile that spells two letters, Q and U together. QUIZ uses three tiles: Qu, I and Z. You cannot use the Q or the U on its own.
Q is rarely useful without a U, so the board shows them together on one tile.
What it means in play
- The tile spells QU every time you trace through it.
- It uses one tile but counts as two letters for length and points, so QUIZ scores like a four-letter word.
- You cannot spell a word that has a Q without a U after it, such as QI, using this tile.
When you type a word, include both letters: QUIZ, not QIZ.
