MOCHY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. MOCHY 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 15 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does MOCHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Irishdialect
Damp, warm and muggy, used especially to describe close or drizzly weather.
Mochy is a dialect word heard mainly in Ireland and parts of northern England for weather that feels heavy, humid and faintly wet without proper rain. People use it when the air feels sticky and grey rather than clear and dry, the kind of day that leaves clothes and skin feeling clammy. It is a word passed down through everyday speech rather than one taught formally, so it appears far more often in conversation than in print.
