WICKY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 17 points
It depends on the list you play by. WICKY 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 17 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does WICKY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectbotany
A regional name for the rowan tree.
Wicky is what older residents of parts of Britain call the same familiar hedgerow plant most people know by a different word, prized for its bright autumn berries. Cottagers once set a sapling by the door in the belief that it kept misfortune away, a custom recorded in several old county glossaries. Botanical dictionaries rarely list wicky at all, leaving it almost entirely to folklore collections and dialect surveys.
