I can give you the number of Q words acceptable for placing on a Scrabble board, 2575.
The longest word you can fit on the board is 15 letters (Example CONSEQUENTIALLY) and there are 51 possibilities of that length. The group that has the highest available choice (450 of them) is the 9 letter category. (Example CHEQUERED)
There may be a few more longer words to be found in a dictionary. But it seems unlikely that the total of Q words would top the 3000 mark.

Even if you looked in the dictionary it would only show the letters that START with q. That will be a hard question to figure out. It may also be impossible because some slang words may contain the letter and it can be debatable on wether to count it as a word

Quit quietly and inquisitively inquiring with questions about "Q"s!

Check out the 'Q' section in the dictionary.

Every single one of them, but most are silent.
