ENTS is valid in Collins, not in North America — 4 points
It depends on the list you play by. ENTS 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 4 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does ENTS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
Student-organised social events, especially discos, gigs and parties, put on by a British university or college; also the committee that runs them.
Ents is short for entertainments, and British students use it both for the events themselves and for the ents committee, or ents crew, that books bands, runs the union bar nights and organises the freshers week programme. So a poster reading ents this week is announcing a run of shows rather than naming a single thing called an ent.
How ENTS is used
Chiefly British university slang, seen in students union job titles such as ents officer and on event listings rather than in formal writing.
- The ents committee booked a band for freshers week.
- She works part time for the union ents crew.
- This term the ents programme includes a comedy night.
- Posters for the ents events cover the corridor walls.
- He was elected ents officer at the union meeting.
