## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
You are given a collection of ABC blocks (e.g., childhood alphabet blocks). There are 20 blocks with two letters on each block. A complete alphabet is guaranteed amongst all sides of the blocks. The sample collection of blocks:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
(B O)
|
|
(X K)
|
|
(D Q)
|
|
(C P)
|
|
(N A)
|
|
(G T)
|
|
(R E)
|
|
(T G)
|
|
(Q D)
|
|
(F S)
|
|
(J W)
|
|
(H U)
|
|
(V I)
|
|
(A N)
|
|
(O B)
|
|
(E R)
|
|
(F S)
|
|
(L Y)
|
|
(P C)
|
|
(Z M)

## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Implement a function that takes a string (word) and determines whether the word can be spelled with the given collection of blocks.
|
|
Some rules to keep in mind:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Once a letter on a block is used, that block cannot be used again.</li>
|
|
<li>The function should be case-insensitive.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord</code> should be a function.
|
|
testString: assert(typeof canMakeWord === 'function');
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord</code> should return a boolean.
|
|
testString: assert(typeof canMakeWord('hi') === 'boolean');
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("bark")</code> should return true.
|
|
testString: assert(canMakeWord(words[0]));
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("BooK")</code> should return false.
|
|
testString: assert(!canMakeWord(words[1]));
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("TReAT")</code> should return true.
|
|
testString: assert(canMakeWord(words[2]));
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("COMMON")</code> should return false.
|
|
testString: assert(!canMakeWord(words[3]));
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("squAD")</code> should return true.
|
|
testString: assert(canMakeWord(words[4]));
|
|
- text: <code>canMakeWord("conFUSE")</code> should return true.
|
|
testString: assert(canMakeWord(words[5]));
|
|

const blocks = characters.split(' ').map(pair => pair.split(''));
|
|
|
|
const letters = [...word.toUpperCase()];
|
|
let length = letters.length;
|

const copy = new Set(blocks);
