This function will pass the tests, but the letter distribution is not correct. letter_key_list will contain all of the letters only once, and then the loop starting on line 41 will pick the first 10. Essentially, this is a letter distribution of 1 tile per letter.

Both of these lines are creating a new list. They can be combined:
| pool = deepcopy(letter_bank) | |
| pool = [p.upper() for p in pool] # convert each element in a list to uppercase | |
| pool = [p.upper() for p in letter_bank] # convert each element in a list to uppercase |
In addition, a deep copy is not necessary, a shallow copy, ie letter_bank.copy() would work here as well to create a copy of the list. The letters in the letter bank are immutable strings. A deep copy is only needed when the contents of the list are mutable, and the original data needs to be preserved.

See feedback in Adagrams PSE for notes on optimization.

Fantastic work with this algorithm! Small note, I recommend avoiding single letter variable names - more descriptive variable improve readability.

The tuple here can be built directly, no need to create a list and then convert it to a tuple.
| result=tuple([highest_score_word,highest_score]) | |
| result=tuple(highest_score_word,highest_score) |
| # while count <v: | ||
| # pool.append(k) | ||
| # count+=1 |

This would work to create a letter pool with the correct distribution.
| # while counter <10:# creating random index from 0 to 10 | ||
| # random_inex=random.randint(0, len(pool)-1) | ||
| # hand.append(pool[random_inex]) #adding randomly picked letter to our hand (list of 10) | ||
| # pool.pop(random_inex) #removing the same element from the pool | ||
| # counter+=1 |
