Excellent topic idea. I can honestly say I have only heard of a few of these, and those with alternate spellings. My post
Yeah like qabalistic. It's sometimes spelled cabalistic. I'm not familiar with most of them. Seriously.
What a great idea for a TT. I like the word qi.

I've used #2 and #4 in Words with Friends, and I've personally used Qi in my PsiCorps series. Beyond that I only recognize 9 & 10.
Great idea for TT!

I'm with Adelle -- I want to thank you for significantly upping my Scrabble game! I have only used "qi."
Huh. Most of these words I didn't know.
Thank you thank you thank you for this list! I love to play scrabble and I always love to find lists to use a q without a u!
Who knew all those Q's had no U :)
Have a great day!

Great idea for a T13 - the only one on the list that I've used is qi, though I call it 'chi'.
