The formula to calculate the Word Value (WV) is:
\[ WV = \sum_{i=1}^{n} L_i \]
Where:
A word value is a numerical value assigned to a word by adding up the values of each letter in the word. The value of each letter is its position in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26). This concept is often used in games like Scrabble or in cryptographic puzzles.
Let's assume the following words for two examples:
Using the formula:
\[ WV = 8 + 5 + 12 + 12 + 15 = 52 \]
The Word Value is 52.
Using the formula:
\[ WV = 23 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 4 = 72 \]
The Word Value is 72.
