Not all words in this list are acceptable in Scrabble tournament games. Scrabble tournaments around the world use their own sets of words from selected dictionaries that might not contain all the words listed here. Qi is the most commonly played word in Scrabble tournaments, [10] and was added to the official North American word list in 2006. [11]
Unlike the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, NWL is a list and does not include definitions. It contains words not included in OSPD because they are considered offensive, [3] and a number of other additional words (mostly registered trademarks). Print versions of NWL can be procured from the NASPA website by NASPA members only.
While such words are technically outside the scope of the list as defined by its title, they are usually terms borrowed from languages (in these cases Chinese and Arabic) where the Q is an ordinary consonant that may or may not be followed by U, like almost all the words currently in the list are. --Theurgist 23:38, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

The article lists the Scrabble words in North America which are q but no u which are allowed in Scrabble, but it seems to have omitted the word "talaq". This word would be acceptable in the United Kingdom as a word with a q but no u - I have played in in Scrabble, and it is listed in a book called "Official Scrabble Lists".
This occurs other places, too. A variant spelling which uses the "q" instead of a "k" would be fine, but having all multiple variants in spellings and plural doesn't work. And since many of these words derive from Arabic, which has no set system of transliteration, you could actually have many different spellings of the same word.
