A '''word's value''' in numeric terms is the sum of the numeric value of each of its letters, where:
*a = 1
*b = 2
*c = 3
...
*y = 25
*z = 26

This can be helpful for encouraging an early reader who likes math to read more, and to increase his vocabulary.

Some fun examples are:
* pouring has a word value of exactly 100.
* impatiently has a high word value of 144 - a perfect square of 12
