YCLED is valid in Collins, not in North America — 11 points
It depends on the list you play by. YCLED 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 11 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does YCLED mean in Scrabble?
other
archaicpoetic
An alternative spelling of the archaic past participle meaning clothed.
Middle English spelling was never fixed, and the same old past participle of clothe turns up in manuscripts and early printed verse with an e where later copies of the same texts use an a, so ycled and yclad are read today as the same word wearing two different coats of spelling. Editors of older poetry sometimes keep whichever form the original page used rather than silently normalizing one into the other.
How YCLED is used
Archaic; found chiefly in editions of early verse rather than in later or modern writing.
- One printed copy has the pilgrim ycled in grey, another has him yclad.
- The editor left ycled unchanged because that was the spelling in the original leaf.
- Ycled in sackcloth, the penitent knelt before the altar in the old tale.
- Scholars note ycled beside yclad as proof that spelling was never settled in that period.
- The ballad calls the shepherd ycled in wool against the cold.
