RHODY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. RHODY 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 12 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does RHODY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, shortened name for a rhododendron shrub.
Gardeners and nursery growers shorten the long Latin-derived name rhododendron to the casual word rhody when talking about the shrub in everyday speech. The word is common in gardening columns and among plant collectors, especially in regions where rhododendrons are grown widely. It carries no meaning beyond the plant itself and is never used for anything else, and the spelling rhodie is also seen for the same word.
