- QUIPUS — 6 letters for 17 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
- QUIPPU — a 6-letter, 19-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the QUIP pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell QUIP plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
