SLOPY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. SLOPY 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 SLOPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialect
Sloping or inclined; set at a slant rather than level.
Slopy describes ground, a roof or a surface that rises or falls at an angle instead of lying flat, essentially the same idea as sloping but built directly from the noun slope with the ending -y rather than -ing. The word turns up in older regional speech and in descriptions of land, where a slopy field or a slopy lane is one a cart or plough has to work at an angle. Standard modern English almost always reaches for sloping or inclined instead, which is why slopy now reads as a dialect choice rather than an everyday one.
