Words with Q and Y in them run from 4 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.
QUIZZICALITY scores higher than any of them at 44 points in Scrabble, 46 in Words With Friends. QUAY is the shortest of them at 16 points in Scrabble and 16 in Words With Friends, which makes it the one to remember when there is barely any room left on the board.
