I like the use of a hash to store this info.
| //throws if word is longer then 7 characters | ||
| if (word.search(/[^a-zA-Z]+/) !== -1 || word.length === 0 || word.length > 7) { | ||
| throw 'Invalid word.'; | ||
| } |

Instead of throwing a string, you should throw an instance of Error. That gives you access to stack trace information. Something like this:
if (condition) {
throw new Error(`Invalid word ${word}`);
}| const tieBreak = function tieBreak(best_word, challenger_word) { | ||
| console.log(`Best Word: ${best_word}`); | ||
| console.log(`Challenger Word: ${challenger_word}`); | ||
| if (best_word.length === 7) { |

Good use of a helper function to clarify this logic.

Comprehension Questions
What was a challenge you faced in this assignment? |
I had some issues debugging and remembering the differences in functions and classes, creating and passing functions was something I kept mixing up. I then spent more time trying to decide how to proceed then I thin was necessary.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort? |
Maybe publically repost the instructor implementation w/tests from Ruby, that would have helped tremendously when I got stuck on test writing. It would have been at least good to see what to test again, and also would have unstuck me when I was building the highestScoreFrom function in Wave 1.
