Approach / How it works

When the user clicks the Deal Letters button random letters are generated allowing the user to form words from the tiles.

Once the user clicks the Check Answer button it is checked using a library made from an online dictionary API.

When an answer is played the board will clear. If the answer is correct the user score will be displayed. If the answer is incorrect the user loses the game.

The biggest problem was getting the point value for each letter to score the word.
