Nice work! It's great that you used this opportunity to explore OOP and refactor. Great work using a branch for this refactored work. Your code is clear and logical. I've left a few inlines comments on ways you might consider refactoring, but overall, great work!

Consider whether these if is necessary. I supposed if we had less than 10 letters in the LETTER_POOL this would help us avoid an index error, but we may want to deal with that edge case in a different way such as
if len(LETTER_POOL) < 10:
return "LETTER_POOL is too small"
or maybe not -- just something to consider :)

We should make a copy of the LETTER_POOL so that our function does not directly modify this constant.

Clear, logical code!

| # checks to make sure that word is composed of elements in letter_bank | ||
| letter_bank_copy = letter_bank[:] | ||

I am not quite sure what this check is doing. A comment to explain this validation check would enhance readability.

Great work encapsulating this functionality in a helper function.
| return word.word, score | ||
| # otherwise return shortest word | ||
| winning_word = min(word_list, key= lambda w: w.length) |
| high_score_words = [word for word in list_of_word_objects if word.score == high_score] |
