I disagree. One difficulty of 5x5 is that one wants to make
a query consists of such-and-such letters, but one cannot
recollect an appropriate word. That's why English version of
5x5 enforces query words to be scrabble-sane.
It's not "wasting". Such @#$* query may not be the word one
wants, but it may provide very useful clue to find it.
