Dang, didn't get a chance to guess the other 5-letter words that
begin with q, but not qu... ;)

(I'd decided "eking" was likely, so I tested it with "skein". ;)
Too easy to hit the right word, with so few clues to go by. :)

JEP, I call for a recount.
2 crate score(crate) = score(cr---) + score(--ate) = 2
0 crowd score(crowd) = score(cr---) + score(--owd) = 0
Thus, two of "ate" must be in the final answer. But:
1 tease score(tease) = score(te-s-) + score(--a-e) = 1
So it's only one of antepenultimate a and ultimate e
1 ghats score(ghats) = score(gh--s) + score(--at-) = 1
So it's only one of antepenultimate a and penultimute t
1 white score(white) = score(whi--) + score(---te) = 1
so it's only one of penultimate t and final e
Thus, it can't be
--at-
--a-e
or
---te
So how did "crate" get a 2? Or, what else was mis-scored?
