Consider making this hash a global variable assigned outside the method so that it can be used other place.
| all_letters_array << letter | ||
| end | ||
| end | ||
| letters_in_hand = all_letters_array.sample(10) |

You should explicitly return letters_in_hand. Note warning when you run rake:
"/Users/becca/Documents/GitHub/c12/adagrams/lib/adagrams.rb:38: warning: assigned but unused variable - letters_in_hand"
| letter_count[letter] -= 1 | ||

You don't need break. When you return in a function, nothing is executed after the return.

Similar to all_letter_hash, it would make sense to define this hash outside the method as a global variable using all caps.
| if input_array.size >= 7 && input_array.size < 11 | ||
| return total_points.sum + 8 | ||
| end | ||
| # if total_points.empty? |

Remove unused commented code when you refactor.
| return total_points.sum | ||
| end | ||

| # REPLACE HIGH SCORE HASH STEPS WITH A HELPER METHOD |

This would be a great use of a helper method, and a good task for a refactor.

The comments in this method are helpful and are an example of a good use of comments.
