QUEME is valid in Collins, not in North America — 16 points
It depends on the list you play by. QUEME 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 16 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does QUEME mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To please, suit, or be agreeable to someone.
Queme comes from the Old English verb cweman, part of the same root family that also gave rise to the modern word become. In medieval verse a well-timed gift or a kind word could queme a lord or a lady, easing tension much the way a skilled host smooths over an awkward evening today. Once the plainer verbs please and satisfy took over the same job in everyday speech, queme survived chiefly in glossaries built for readers of Middle English poetry.
How QUEME is used
Archaic; found today mainly in dictionaries of older English and regional dialect studies.
- The gift was meant to queme the old lord.
