is qi a wordIs qi an accepted word in the scrabble dictionary?

I was playing a game with 3 other players. One laid the word qi which i challenged. the official scrabble dictionary we were using was from 1978 and did not contain the word. The person who laid it started pouting and averred that she played it on her computer and it was allowed. Is it?
According to the official Hasbro Scrabble website "is qi a word;qi" is NOT an acceptable word, and I do not believe there are any 2 letter words that start with Q.

Results based on Merriam-Webster's
Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 3rd Edition

Here is a link to the site, the word builder is really good for practicing!


That is incorrect.

The Official Scrabble Dictionary 4th Edition liis qi a wordsts QI as a valid two-letter word.
