FRACT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. FRACT 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 FRACT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To break something, or to violate an agreement or promise.
Fract comes straight from the Latin verb meaning to break, the same root that gave English fracture and fraction. Writers once used fract both for a physical breaking and for the breaking of a vow or a law, a range that fracture never really kept for itself. The verb dropped out of ordinary use centuries ago and now appears mainly in older legal and literary English.
