The QU run turns up in 159 words. EQUAL, EQUIP, PIQUE first, 29 of them on the answer list.
29 of the 159 can still be the answer, and EQUAL is the one most players reach for.
The last square lands on E more than any other letter: 28 words, about one in five of the set. If you need a second letter to test, E (65), I (62) and A (61) appear here more than any others. Everyday English covers 11 of these 159 words. The remainder are valid plays that rarely reach conversation, so guess from the letters above rather than from the bottom of the list.

Can a Wordle answer have QU side by side?

Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. QUEEN and QUEUE are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is JIQUI really a word?
Yes. Cuban timber tree with hard wood very resistant to moisture. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

QUITE. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.
Are all of these accepted as guesses?
Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. ZOQUE and ZAQUE are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.
Which of these would most players overlook?
QUALM, QUOTH and SQUIB. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
