For words to appear here, they must appear in their own entry in a dictionary; words that occur only as part of a longer phrase are not included. Proper nouns are not included in the list. There are, in addition, many place names and personal names, mostly originating from Arabic-speaking countries, Albania, or China, that have a Q without a U.
This occurs other places, too. A variant spelling which uses the "q" instead of a "k" would be fine, but having all multiple variants in spellings and plural doesn't work. And since many of these words derive from Arabic, which has no set system of transliteration, you could actually have many different spellings of the same word.
8 points: C ×2, X ×1, Z ×1; The distribution lacks Q and W, which are very rare and only occur in foreign words. C, X, and Z also only occur in foreign words, but they are not so rare, so they were included. Q and W can be played with a blank.
See the list of English words containing Q not followed by U. Q is the second least frequently used letter in the English language (after Z), with a frequency of just 0.1% in words. Q has the fourth fewest English words where it is the first letter, after X, Z, and Y.

Where ever there is a Q there is a U too; Most frequently u follows q. e.g.: Que, queen, question, quack, quark, quartz, quarry, quit, Pique, torque, macaque, exchequer. Hence the mnemonic: Where ever there is a Q there is a U too [24] (But this is violated by some words; see:List of English words containing Q not followed by U)
