SEXINGS is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. SEXINGS 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 15 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does SEXINGS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Separate rounds of sexing, the work of telling male animals from female ones, in the plural.
In a hatchery this is a trade with schools of its own: a day-old chick shows almost nothing, and a good operator sorts a thousand an hour by sight and touch. Sexings in the plural means separate rounds of that work rather than the skill in general, so it belongs to records and reports and not to speech.
