nice use of spread syntax

let keys = Object.keys(letter_pool_copy);
while (letters.length < 10) {

Okay, this loop makes sense to me! I might like to see some sort of guard condition put in, in case of not being able to pick enough letters, so that it doesn't spin indefinitely if none are left available.

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

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

let lettersInHandCopy = [...lettersInHand];
const wordArray = input.split("");
for (let i = 0; i < wordArray.length; i++) {
let letter = wordArray[i];
if (lettersInHandCopy.includes(letter)) {
// lettersInHandCopy.filter((item) => item !== letter);
lettersInHandCopy.splice(lettersInHandCopy.indexOf(letter), 1);

ah, a javascript 'remove' function ;) (referring to your project reflection comments.)

Good solution!
