TID is valid in Collins, not in North America — 4 points
It depends on the list you play by. TID 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 4 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does TID mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialect
A mood or state of mind, in Scots dialect usage.
Speakers of Scots used tid to describe someone's temper or frame of mind at a given moment, much as modern English speakers might say mood. The same short word also turned up as a dialect term for a young girl and, as an adjective, meant tender or delicate, a sense that survives only in the compound tidbit.
