Delete unneeded blank line
You can review the official Python style guide about blank line conventions.

letter_pool is a constant variable and should be named with capital letters like LETTER_POOL
| letters = "" | ||
| for letter , num in letter_pool.items(): | ||
| letters += letter * num |

Your implementation of draw_letters has 2 responsibilities: creating a pool of letters and also drawing random letters. Consider putting the logic on lines 33-35 into a helper function (maybe something like build_letter_pool and call that function here instead.

The name result doesn't quite capture what this list represent in the game. Something like randomly_hand describes that this list is a random hand in the game which would make your code more self-documenting.

What does i represent? Something like random_index would be more descriptive.

Using constant variables will make your code more self-documenting and easier to understand. If I don't know anything about this game, I'm left wondering what the significance of the integer literals 7, 10, and 8 are.
Consider something like:
BONUS_LENGTH_MIN = 7
BONUS_LENGTH_MAX = 10
BONUS_POINTS = 8
if BONUS_LENGTH_MIN <= len(word) <= BONUS_LENGTH_MAX:
sum_word += BONUS_POINTS| 'Z': 0 | ||
| } | ||
|
|

| while len(result) < 10: |

I'd like to see the literal integer 10 referenced by a constant variable. As someone who might not know anything about this game, I might read line67 and wonder what the significance of 10 means.
How about something like:
HAND_SIZE = 10
while len(result) < HAND_SIZE:|

Delete blank lines at end of file to keep project neat. Python recommends you keep one blank line so you can remove lines 143-145
You can check out this thread to read more if you'd like

We could use a constant variable to reference 10, maybe something like TIE_BREAKER_LENGTH or something else to describe why 10 is significant in this logic.

| return (max_word, max_score) |

👍 Nice job directly returning the tuple
