DROOK is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. DROOK 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 DROOK mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scots
To drench or soak thoroughly, especially with rain.
Drook is a Scots verb for being soaked right through, most often by heavy rain rather than by falling into water. It is also spelled drouk, and both forms turn up in older Scottish writing and in dialect speech further north. The word carries a sense of complete, uncomfortable wetness rather than a light shower, which is what separates it from a plain word like wet. Robert Burns and other Scots writers used the word freely, and it survives today mainly in Scotland.
