ASSEZ is valid in Collins, not in North America — 14 points

What does ASSEZ mean in Scrabble?
adverb
music
Fairly or sufficiently, used in musical directions borrowed from French, as in assez lent (fairly slowly).
Assez is a French word meaning fairly or enough, and it appears in English mainly inside musical tempo markings adopted from French scores, such as assez vite or assez lent. Composers and editors use it the way Italian terms like allegro or moderato are used, to soften or qualify another instruction. Outside sheet music the word is rarely seen in ordinary English writing.
