Quo IS a word.

Okay, so I just played a game of scrabble with my parents and I basically won off of the word "quo" for 24 points. They claim I've cheated because I can't use quo in a sentence. I searched quo on the internet, it shows up on dictionary.com. Anyhow, if anybody could give me a way I could use quo in a sentence (and other than status-quo) it would be appreciated.


Help a brotha prove a point....

quid pro quo. Its Latin, not English and thus invalid.

Quo is Latin. Your points are forfeit. You lost the game. Sorry.

Yesh, this is true. Quo is not an English word.

HOWEVER, the scrabble dictionary is the ultimate authority on whether a word counts or not. You should check there.

I still think it's not a valid word, though.
*******

Here's a list of 3-letter words. "QUO" is not so much a word...."QUA" on the other hand....

You cheated. "Quo" is not English, therefore does not count in Scrabble.

Did they challenge the word before the game ended? If so then you lose. If not you win!

According to the official scrabble dictionary (Scrabble Game), "quo" is not a word. "Qua," however, is a word. My friend Harrison has frequently used it in Scrabble.

I saw a flock of quos flying over my house.

I am an expert cheater. A quo is a black bird that gets in people's gardens.
