MEER is valid in Collins, not in North America — 6 points
It depends on the list you play by. MEER 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 6 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does MEER mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectarchaic
A lake, pond, or boundary line; a dialectal and archaic spelling of mere.
Meer is an older way of writing mere, and like that word it could point to a small lake or pond as well as to a boundary marking the edge of land. Regional writers kept the spelling meer in use long after mere became standard, so the word turns up in older English texts describing both bodies of water and property lines.
