SUJEE is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points
It depends on the list you play by. SUJEE 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 SUJEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
nautical
A soapy cleaning mixture used to scrub the wooden deck of a ship.
Sailors mixed sujee from soap, soda, and sometimes sand to lift grease and grime from deck planking, then worked it in with a stiff brush or a holystone. The word reached English through maritime trade in Asia and appears under several spellings, including soogee and soojey, all naming the same cleaning mixture. Sujee survives today mainly in nautical glossaries rather than in everyday speech.
