RYMME is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. RYMME 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 RYMME mean in Scrabble?
verb
obsolete
To provide something with a rim, an old form of the verb rim.
Rymme is an obsolete spelling and form of the verb meaning to fit an edge or border onto an object, the same action described today by the plain word rim. It turns up in older English texts dealing with craft work, such as fitting a rim onto a wheel or a wooden vessel. The word fell out of use as spelling settled into the modern form rim, and rymme now survives only as a historical curiosity in word lists and old manuscripts, not in any current English writing.
