CHIRT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. CHIRT 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 CHIRT mean in Scrabble?
verb
dialect
To squeeze or press something so that liquid squirts out of it.
Chirt is a dialect verb built around the act of pressing, not simply of a liquid moving on its own, so it fits a hand closing on a soft fruit or a wet cloth being wrung. English regional dictionaries record it in farm and kitchen contexts, where a cook or worker forces out the last of a liquid by hand.
