MIFTY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 13 points
It depends on the list you play by. MIFTY 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 MIFTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
obsolete
Quick to take offence at small things; an old form of miffy.
Someone described as mifty took offence easily, sulking or complaining over slights that other people would let pass without a second thought. Writers used the word interchangeably with miffy, and the two spellings appear side by side in older dictionaries of English. The word has fallen out of active use, so a reader meeting mifty today is far more likely to find it in a glossary of old or dialect words than in a current book or newspaper.
