No single word has had a greater impact on Scrabble than this simple two-letter word. When it was first introduced into the Scrabbler's lexicon in the 1990s, Q-stick endgames virtually became a thing of the past. In almost all games now, a player can unload the Q onto a floating I, if they don't have one themself, to avoid the dreaded 20 point endgame catastrophe.
