In this episode of Better Know a Letter, Will breaks down the Q - one of the two 10-point letters in the game. Newcomers to Scrabble often love the Q for its huge scoring potential, but veteran players fear the Q more than any other letter. Watch this video to find out why!

“It looks like a crime scene” - that definitely got a laugh out of me. Awesome.

I still have the Scrabble CD-Rom from the year 2001. It is a grim reminder of the dark ages when QI was not a valid word.

Yet again I'm impressed by the visualizations you did! Those synergy charts for the E and Q are amazing.

I agree that the Q is the worst letter, but a look at other languages is interesting here: It could be even worse :-D I don't play in French, but if my wordlist for that language is up to date, they don't even have QI (maybe someone can correct or confirm me). And in German, which I do play, all we have for Q-less words are QIs, NIQABs, QINDARs, QIGONGs and QINDARKA. So as I'm studying CSW, all of these amazing Q words feel like godsends to me. I mean, WAQF?! Count your blessings :-D

The Q is essentially the Scrabble Equivalent of post-Melee Ganondorf; immense power but damn near unusable in professional play, even by people who know how to maximise their potential.

Scrabble wouldn’t be a board game without the word qi. The creator would’ve just burnt the tiles if a word like so didn’t exist.

Will: I know you made some excellent points about the Q - and I'll certainly bear them in mind - but, for me, the tile I really hate is the V: well... you can't even make any two-letter words with it!

Well done. You've got two more power tiles to go - S and J! I'd like to see J in this series in particular, please! Also, you went STRAIGHT

As a non Scrabble-player (I've played casually a few times), I didn't notice there are only four "U"s; no wonder the "Q" is so awful. A couple more "U"s, and the "Q" wouldn't be too bad for ten points.

scrabble is like politics, you really don't want the Q on your side

The best play I ever made in Scrabble was SEQUOIA. I still lost seeing as I was struggling with vowels all game.

Good video. One idea for a video: Define more precisely what you mean by "synergy". Is it combining power? Can it be quantified?

Nice video. I don’t fear this letter. More like I understand this letter.

I play alone. I try to beat own my high score and use only one rack. I apply modified tournament for solo.
