Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	My understanding of conditionals, loops, and other data types.
Did you need to use different strategies to find information online about JavaScript than you would for Ruby?	No, I used the same strategies to figure out things. I did test things in node to better understand and verify what I was doing was working the way I expected.
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	A challenge was figuring out ways to do things in javascript when ruby had something that javascript didn't. Also syntax was also another challenge.
What has been interesting and positive about learning a new programming language?	It is nice having ruby as a comparison. I find myself just thinking of how I would do it in ruby and translating it to javascript.
What is something to focus on your learnings in JavaScript in the next week?	I want to focus on getting better with syntax and testing.

Overall

Great work on this project, Amal! I have no complaints.

I have a few comments on how to make this more "javascript-y" in syntax and code style. Otherwise, great work!

Also, sorry about how late this grading is. Let me know if you have any questions

Where does this 99 come from? If it represents something (like the length of letterPool), maybe give it a variable name. If it doesn't, then how can we make this number meaningful?

Instead of using this delete command, it'd be better to set handObj[letter] = null

letterScore can be a const
