: A while ago I was trying to come up with a word with a silent letter
: for every letter of the alphabet.  Is there one for q?  I don't
: really remember all of them just now.

Depends on which letters you count as silent in "sacque". If it's the Q and
U, then you've got two birds killed with one highly obscure stone.
