WOXEN is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. WOXEN 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 15 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does WOXEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To have grown, increased, or become something over time, using an old form of the verb wax.
Woxen served as the old participle of wax in earlier English, at a time when wax still meant to grow or increase rather than only to coat something with wax. A moon that had woxen full had grown to its brightest phase, and a person who had woxen old had simply aged. The form dropped out of ordinary use as English simplified its irregular verbs, and it now appears chiefly in older texts.
