BLEE is valid in Collins, not in North America — 6 points
It depends on the list you play by. BLEE 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 6 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does BLEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
The colour or complexion of the face; a person's hue or look.
Older English poetry and ballads use blee for the natural colour of someone's skin or features, so that a person "bright of blee" has a fresh, healthy complexion, while a fading blee suggests sickness or approaching death. Modern English has largely replaced it with complexion or colouring.
