This is a joke chart. It puts 25 letters of the English alphabet above the waterline, leaves the middle tiers empty, and puts the letter Q alone at the bottom, mocking the format's habit of hiding one "obscure" item in the deepest tier. The joke is that Q isn't hard to find; it's just one of the least-used letters in English. Entries reflect the chart author's choices and are not verified fact.
