Work out alphabet position instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Each letter is scored by its position in the alphabet (A = 1 through Z = 26) and the positions are added to give the word total. Alphabet positions turn letters into numbers, which is the idea behind simple codes and a nice way to practise mental addition with a purpose.
Letter value
value = position in the alphabet, A = 1 up to Z = 26
Word total
word total = sum of the letter values, ignoring spaces and punctuation
