We could use Object.entries as well to get the functionality and cut out the key accessing you have here like so:
for (const [letter, freq] of Object.entries(LETTER_POOL)){
// ...
| const letter = availableLetters[randomIndex]; | ||
|
|
||
| currentHand.push(letter); | ||
| availableLetters.splice(randomIndex, 1); |

These are letter counts will the same size but what if they weren't? What if the input size varied? What would be the time complexity of your code? What CS fundamentals data structure did we learn about that is handy for keeping track of the number of occurrences?
| for (const inputLetter of word) { | ||
| const letterFreqInLetterBank = lettersInHand.filter((letter) => letter === inputLetter).length; | ||
| const letterFreqInWord = word.split('').filter((letter) => letter === inputLetter).length; | ||
|
|
||
| if (letterFreqInWord > letterFreqInLetterBank) { | ||
| return false; | ||
| } |

The comment found above could apply here as well. Again, these are constant sized inputs but consider if they weren't.

Do we have dictionaries in Javascript? 👀
| totalPoints += BONUS_POINTS; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| return totalPoints; |
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| return { word: bestWord, score: bestScore }; |

Great work on making this logic easy to follow!
