CUNT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 6 points
It depends on the list you play by. CUNT 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 CUNT mean in Scrabble?
noun
offensive
A coarse term for the female genitals; in some varieties of English, a strong insult for a person.
Cunt is the strongest word in ordinary English, and its strength is not the same everywhere: in Britain, Ireland and Australia it is used of people and can even be neutral between friends, while in North America it is heard almost exclusively as an attack on women and ranks above every other insult. The word is a thousand years old and was unremarkable in medieval street names before it became unprintable.
How CUNT is used
Offensive in every register, and markedly more so in North American English, where it is heard as an attack rather than as abuse in general.
