Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What patterns were you able to use from your Ruby knowledge to apply to JavaScript?	Overall strategy for how to orient the scrabble game
What was a challenge you were able to overcome on this assignment?	The change of syntax, particularly now needing to say let etc
What is your favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Realizing that there it is fairly easy(ish) to pick up new languages once you learn one
What is your least favorite thing about learning a new programming language?	Some of the fun Ruby tricks I learned can no longer be utilized.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	more low level exercises before jumping in. It felt like it was assumed that we would pick up this language very quickly, but with the timeline we are also concerned with CS and splitting time so learning the language on our own was a bit difficult. Being provided more resources would have been beneficial. Overall was okay though!

This could be written as:

score(word) {

Making variables you never reassign const is a good idea.

[CheezItMan]

This works fine, you can also use reduce to calculate it.
