SKOFF is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. SKOFF 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 SKOFF mean in Scrabble?
verb
dialectScots
To eat food quickly and greedily, often devouring all of it at once.
Skoff describes eating in a hurried, hungry way rather than at a normal, measured pace. The word is closely related to scoff, which carries the same meaning in wider English, but skoff keeps a distinctly Scots flavour in speech and older writing. It can also work as a noun meaning food itself in some regional use, though the verb sense of hurried eating is the more common one.
