PHOTOLYSED is valid in Collins, not in North America — 19 points

It depends on the list you play by. PHOTOLYSED 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 19 points. Words with Friends does accept it.
