BLOOK is valid in Collins, not in North America — 11 points
It depends on the list you play by. BLOOK 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 11 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does BLOOK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A blook is a book made up of material first published as posts on a blog.
The word blends blog and book to describe a modern publishing habit: a writer keeps a blog, and the strongest posts are later collected and printed as a bound volume. Some blooks are edited heavily before print, while others reproduce the original posts almost unchanged. The term is recent and belongs mainly to publishing and internet culture.
