AdagramsWhat We're Looking For
Great work on this project, you two! I'm really pleased with the code I see here; it's clean, logical, readable, and does some really cool things. I have a few suggestions on how to make Ruby like your code style a little more. Other than that, overall, great submission. Also, great work on the optionals! |

This data structure RULES! It's so clear what each value is! Nice

Turns out: You don't need these two above lines! You would need them if you did need to manually restore the letter_bucket value, but because of variable scope, every time that this method gets called, letter_bucket gets recreated to its original form.
| end | ||
| end | ||
| # the length of the input checks that the user used only available letters | ||
| if input.length == 0 |
| return true | ||
| else | ||
| return false | ||

There's an opportunity to refactor here. Consider instead of this if ... else statement:
return input.length == 0 ? true : falseor even...
return input.length == 0

Minor nitpick: You CAN define a method with a space between the method name and the input parens, but Ruby will give a warning, because it prefers it if the method signature looks more like def score_word(word)

Extremely minor: You lost your indentation on this line! Watch out!

We talked this through together in person BUT just wanted to share that to make it work on my machine, changing this line to path = 'lib/dictionary-english.csv' worked for me since y'all moved the file, but I didn't get it to work to go to the assets folder
