DRUXY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 16 points
It depends on the list you play by. DRUXY 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 16 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does DRUXY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Of timber, having decayed spots or streaks that are hidden beneath an outwardly sound surface.
Druxy timber looks solid from the outside, but cutting into it reveals whitish patches of decay scattered through the wood. Foresters and sawyers check for the condition because it weakens the timber without giving any obvious external warning. The word druxy is used almost exclusively by people who grade, mill or work with wood professionally. A plank rejected as druxy may otherwise appear perfectly healthy.
