Excellent job! There are some comments below on places to make the code cleaner/simpler. For commits, it would be great if the commit messages could be more descriptive. Instead of talking about what tests are passing, something like "Added drawLetters function" would be great. Good job!

We should not be removing letters from the lettersInHand array. This function should just be checking to make sure all of the letters in input is in lettersInHand. If the user is losing letters every time we do this check, there will be no hand left soon.

This can be done by just creating the object like you do with the letterDist.
| word = word.toUpperCase(); | ||
|
|
||
| let points = 0; | ||
| if (word.length === 0) { | ||
| return points; | ||
| } else if (word.length > 6) { | ||
| points += 8; | ||
| } | ||
| for (let letter of word) { | ||
| points += letterScore[letter]; | ||
| } | ||
| return points; |

Instead of calling scoreWord multiple times, it would be more efficient to call it once at the beginning of the for loop and store it in a variable.
| } else if (word.length != 10 && highestScoreWord.length === 10) { | ||
| highestScoreWord = highestScoreWord; | ||
| } else if (word.length === highestScoreWord) { | ||
| highestScoreWord = highestScoreWord; |

Since the highestScoreWord is already the highestScoreWord, these else if statements can be removed.
