What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	I used similar conditional logic patterns.
What was a challenge you faced in this assignment?	Learning syntax and dealing with the semi colon and curly braces
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I liked the project, it was good to go back to my ruby code and then compare and see that my code in JS looks cleaner. I'm liking Javascript.

It might be a little cleaner to invert this conditional:

if (!(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/.test(word) && word.length <= 7)) {
  throw new Error("Word must only contain letters from A-Z and have less than or equal to 7 characters");
}
// ... lines 11 through 20 ...

If you throw a regular string like you do on line 23, you don't get backtrace information! You should throw an instance of Error instead (i.e. throw new Error("Word must..."))

Good use of reduce here!
