ENFIX is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. ENFIX 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 15 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does ENFIX mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To fasten something by pushing or thrusting it in.
Enfix describes the act of driving one thing into another so that it holds fast, much as a nail is driven into wood. The word is an old variant of infix, built from the same Latin root meaning to fix or fasten. Writers of earlier centuries used enfix for both literal fastening and for ideas or impressions lodged firmly in the mind. Modern English has largely replaced it with infix or simply fix, leaving enfix to dictionaries of older usage.
