Hi Kaliane! Great job completing JS Adagrams! Congrats on finishing your first JavaScript project 🎉 Excellent choice with this data structure, I just want to mention that in JavaScript our keys don't need to be strings. Because of the popularity of JSON, it is frequent to see the keys of object literals as quoted strings. The quotes are required in order to be valid JSON, but they are not required in order to be valid JavaScript. Keys in object literals can be expressed in any of the following three ways:
const letterValue = {
A: 9, // No quotes at all
'A': 9, // Single-quoted string
"A": 9 // Double-quoted string
};
| let letters = []; | ||
| for (let letter in letterPool) { | ||
| for (let i = 0; i < letterPool[letter]; i++) { | ||
| letters.push(letter); | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| let hand = []; | ||
| for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { | ||
| let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * letters.length); |

Great work getting comfortable with JavaScript's syntax. It looks like you're getting use to looping over data and adding conditional logic ✅
| export const usesAvailableLetters = (input, lettersInHand) => { | ||
| // Implement this method for wave 2 | ||
| let lettersInHandCopy = [...lettersInHand]; | ||
| for (let letter of input) { | ||
| if (!lettersInHandCopy.includes(letter)) { | ||
| return false; | ||
| } else { | ||
| let index = lettersInHandCopy.indexOf(letter); | ||
| lettersInHandCopy.splice(index, 1); | ||
| } |
| let score = 0; | ||
|
|
||
| for (let letter of word.toUpperCase()) { | ||
| score += letterScores[letter]; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| if (word.length >= 7) { | ||
| score += 8; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
| if (score > highestScore) { | ||
| highestScore = score; | ||
| highestScoringWord = word; | ||
| } else if (score === highestScore) { | ||
| if (word.length === 10 && highestScoringWord.length !== 10) { | ||
| highestScoringWord = word; | ||
| } else if (word.length < highestScoringWord.length && highestScoringWord.length !== 10) { | ||
| highestScoringWord = word; | ||
| } |

Great work with these variable names!
