    Why is this pattern so unusual?

    In English spelling, Q is normally followed by U, so a bare Q rarely stands at the end of a word. A few exceptions come from shortened forms or loanwords — TRANQ and SUQ are examples — but an exact 5-letter filter can exclude even those. Under these constraints (exactly 5 letters with Q at the end), the dictionary has only 3.
