EXODE is valid in Collins, not in North America — 13 points
It depends on the list you play by. EXODE 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 13 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does EXODE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalliterary
The final part of a Greek tragedy, sometimes a comic afterpiece performed once the main action is over.
An exode closed out a day of Greek theatre, following the main tragedy with a lighter, sometimes comic scene that sent the audience home in better spirits. The word later broadened to cover any departure or exodus, echoing the same Greek root that gives English exodus. Writers on ancient drama still use exode for this specific closing section, distinguishing it from the earlier episodes and choral interludes that make up the rest of a play. The term rarely appears outside discussions of classical theatre or a formal departure.
