+TeamPintenWippers Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 A lot of puzzles exist where you have to count the numeric value of a word. You know, when A=1, B=2 ... Z=26 then AAA becomes 3 and AZ becomes 9. I'm developing an app with which you can do this in the field but I cant find the engles translation for this. In dutch it is stapeltellen, that translates directly into stack counting. So what is the english for this type of counting? Quote Link to comment

I'm no native English speaker, so I don't know if there is an established word for what you want to do. I have used the phrase "sum of all letters, with A=1 ... Z=26" in one of my caches. But that's apparently not what you want to calculate, because you say AZ=9 instead of AZ=27. Seems that you calculate the digital root of the "sum of letters". Quote Link to comment
