FUNDY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. FUNDY 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 12 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does FUNDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalAustralianNew Zealand
An informal word for a religious fundamentalist, or for the hardline wing of a political movement.
Fundy shortens fundamentalist to a single easy syllable pair and turns up most often in Australian and New Zealand speech about strict religious belief. The same short form was borrowed into English reporting on German politics, where fundy or fundie named the uncompromising wing of a party opposed to compromise with rivals inside it. Either way the word carries a slightly dismissive edge, since it is rarely used by people describing their own position.
