SWAPT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points
It depends on the list you play by. SWAPT 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 SWAPT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To be exchanged or bartered, as the old past tense and past participle of swap.
A writer who set down he swapt one horse for another meant exactly what a modern writer means by swapped, and the two forms sat side by side for a time before the regular ending won out. Swapt survives now mainly in older printed texts and in dictionaries that record a verb's full historical range of forms. The related spelling swopt exists for the same reason, matching the alternative spelling swop.
How SWAPT is used
