Qu Strategy for Word Grid
Qu deserves its own playbook. Because it behaves differently from every other tile, a fast Qu scan can unlock words that other players miss.
How to use Qu
Begin every board with one question: where is the Qu tile, and what vowels sit next to it? Once you know that, the board usually gives away one or two obvious branches.
Fast Qu words usually pair the tile with a short vowel path and a tight ending.
Longer Qu words often look obvious only after you trace the vowel branch around the tile.
Qu words can feel hidden until you think in sound clusters instead of single letters.
A clean Qu branch can often support more than one answer if the board has room.
