AMOWT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. AMOWT 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 10 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does AMOWT mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A hooded outer coat worn by Inuit women, with a large pouch on the back for carrying an infant.
An amowt is built with an oversized hood and a pouch across the shoulders and back, so a mother can carry a baby against her body under the fur while keeping both hands free. The design is adapted to Arctic conditions, since the child shares the wearer's body heat rather than being wrapped separately, and the same garment is known by several spellings, including amaut.
How AMOWT is used
