Words with Q and U and X in them run from 6 letters up to 15. Both letters have to appear in the same word, which rules out most of the dictionary and leaves a set small enough to be worth reading.
QUIXOTICALLY scores higher than any of them at 33 points in Scrabble and 36 in Words With Friends. EXEQUY is the shortest of them at 25 points in Scrabble, 25 in Words With Friends, which makes it the one to remember when there is barely any room left on the board.
Both scores accompany every word, and the shortest come first, so a word that fits the gap in front of you takes a moment to find.
