DAKER is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. DAKER 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 DAKER mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsdialect
To move about in an unsteady, idle way; to wander or totter without purpose.
Daker belongs to Scots dialect and describes movement rather than any particular destination: someone who dakers has no errand, only an aimless, faltering gait. It sits alongside other Scots verbs for pottering and idling, and it survives mainly in older regional writing rather than in current speech. The sense of unsteadiness links it loosely to totter, though daker carries more of the idle wandering than the physical stagger.
How DAKER is used
