Hi,

I've defined the pickBestWord method in ps10.py as follows. First I
defined a getAnagramsDict methods for the wordList class which
construct an anagram dictionnary mapping strings consisting of
alphabetically sorted letters (e.g., abc) to their anagrams (e.g.,
[cab,bac]). The pickBestWord method takes a hand, extracts its
letters, sort them to produce a potential key for the anagram
dictionary. For each possible suffix of that string, I then look up
the anagram dictionary and extract the corresponding anagrams. Then I get the score of each anagram and take the one with the highes
