KOKER is valid in Collins, not in North America — 13 points
It depends on the list you play by. KOKER 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 KOKER mean in Scrabble?
noun
Caribbeantechnical
A wooden or concrete sluice built into a sea or river wall to control the flow of water, used mainly in Guyana.
A koker sits where a drainage canal meets the sea or a river, and its doors swing open under the push of water flowing out at low tide, then swing shut again to keep the tide from pushing back in. The word came into Guyanese English from Dutch settlers, who built the first such structures along the coastal polders. Farmers and engineers along the coast still speak of opening or closing a koker rather than a floodgate, and villages built around one often carry its name.
How KOKER is used
Mainly used when describing coastal drainage systems in Guyana; a koker is rarely mentioned outside that context.
- The village elders met beside the old koker to plan repairs before the rains came.
- Workers replaced the rotten doors of the koker with new hardwood panels.
- At low tide the koker swings open and lets the canal drain into the river.
- Local maps still name the settlement after the koker built there a century ago.
- Engineers inspected every koker along the coast after the storm surge.
