Nice work tying together point values and tile counts in one data structure - very clever.

Instead of throwing a string, you should throw an instance of Error. That gives you access to stack trace information. Something like this:

if (condition) {
  throw new Error(`Invalid word ${word}`);
}

Good use of a helper function to clarify this logic.

You should be reusing the scoring logic from highestScoreFrom here.
