HOMME is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. HOMME 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 HOMME mean in Scrabble?
noun
A French word for a man, used in English mainly in fashion and fragrance names.
Homme appears in English almost entirely inside borrowed French phrases, most often on the labels of colognes and clothing marketed pour homme, meaning for men. English speakers rarely use homme alone in an ordinary sentence, treating it instead as a fixed foreign tag rather than a naturalised English noun. An older and rarer sense borrowed the same word for a cultivated, worldly gentleman, echoing the wider French idea of an homme du monde. Because it keeps its French spelling and pronunciation, homme reads as a deliberate foreign touch rather than an everyday English word.
How HOMME is used
Chiefly seen in brand names and fashion writing, almost always paired with pour or set inside a French phrase rather than standing alone.
