What is wordval?

Wordval is a method of assigning numerical values to words or phrases. This can be done in various ways, each resulting in a different "word value". These values can then be used for various purposes, such as:

• Cryptography: As a simple substitution cipher or as a component in more complex encryption schemes.
• Numerology: Assigning meaning and significance to words based on their numerical value.
• Games and Puzzles: Creating word-based puzzles or scoring systems for games.

Common methods for determining word values include:

• Other Arbitrary Assignments: Assigning values based on frequency of use, position in the alphabet reversed, or any other defined system.
