One idea here could be using spread syntax, as an alternate to making a copy. Way to go on figuring out something that worked!

const letters = [];

const keys = Object.keys(letterPoolCopy);
while (letters.length < 10) {

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.

let letter = keys[Math.floor(Math.random() * keys.length)];

if (letterPoolCopy[letter] > 0) {
letters.push(letter);
letterPoolCopy[letter] -= 1;
}
}
return letters;
};

for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (letterBankCopy.includes(input[i])) {
delete letterBankCopy[i];
