This loops makes sense, and I don't think you really have to worry about it here, but when I see
while loops like this, I think about adding some other kind of guard condition- like limiting the
number of attempts, for example-- to catch a possible infinite loop if there weren't enough letters
to be picked.

const letter = alphabet[Math.floor(Math.random() * alphabet.length)];
if (alphabet_pool[letter] > 0) {
hand.push(letter);
alphabet_pool[letter]--;
}
}
return hand;
};

oooh, nice use of reduce here for scoring!!

return word.length > 6 ? score + 8 : score;
