TIRR is valid in Collins, not in North America — 4 points
It depends on the list you play by. TIRR 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 TIRR mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsdialect
To strip or tear the covering off something, such as removing thatch, turf, or slates from a roof.
To tirr is used especially of stripping the outer layer from a roof or from the ground, as when workers tirr the old thatch off a cottage before laying new material, or peat is tirred of its surface turf before cutting. The word is a distinct Scots verb rather than a mere respelling of an everyday English word.
