REKED is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. REKED 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 10 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does REKED mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To care about, pay heed to, or take notice of something; the past tense of reke, used by Spenser.
Reked is the past-tense spelling that goes with reke, an old form connected to the surviving verb reck. Edmund Spenser employed it in his epic verse well before English settled permanently on reck and recked. The word now appears almost exclusively in glossaries devoted to Spenser's vocabulary and to Elizabethan poetic diction.
