Challenge #75: Scrabble Word Finder

This was such a fun challenge! Scrabble is one of my favorite board games! I think it would be even more fun to create something similar that took in other board scoring options (triple letter score, triple word score) to help maximize scoring based on your hand and what is on the board. (Maybe a super advanced challenge @JoeM ?)

As you'll see, I'm not good at RegEx, but I was able to solve the "hard" hand. Will leave the hands with blanks for another time...

Went about this a couple of ways, but I'm pretty happy with the result. 15 tools (3 of which aren't really necessary, but make life easier) and runs in ~1.5 seconds

Here's my solution to challenge 75. 
Solved the easiest version first, then harder and hardest at the same time since the same logic applied.
It completes the hardest version in 4.8 seconds.

Very filthy mess of a workflow but it works for the first case scenario and will handle double letters too. The blanks part shall be for another time.
