AHIGH is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. AHIGH is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 12 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does AHIGH mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaic
On high; up in a raised or lofty position.
Ahigh places something above the ordinary level, whether a bird circling ahigh over a field or a banner set ahigh on a mast. Older English formed several such adverbs by adding a- to a plain adjective, and ahigh is one of the few from that pattern that word-lists still record. Modern writers reach for aloft or high up instead, so meeting ahigh today usually means reading older or deliberately archaic text.
How AHIGH is used
Obsolete outside older texts and dialect glossaries; current writing uses aloft or high up.
