MIXTE is valid in Collins, not in North America — 14 points
It depends on the list you play by. MIXTE 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 14 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does MIXTE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Describing a bicycle frame design with twin lateral tubes running from the head to the rear axle instead of a single top tube.
A mixte frame splits what would normally be one top tube into two thinner parallel tubes that slope down toward the rear wheel, giving a lower, easier step-through shape. The design became popular for touring and women's bicycles because it kept much of the strength of a diamond frame while making the bicycle easier to mount. The word mixte comes from French, where it simply means mixed, reflecting the blend of two frame styles in one.
