Each letter of the alphabet has been assigned a different value from 1 to 26. The total values of the letters contained in a given word are as
given below. Determine the value assigned to each letter of the alphabet.
BEG = 59 CALL = 48 CHIEF = 36 CRAZY = 60
DEN = 53 GAME = 47 GUN = 51 HAM = 16
HAVE = 40 IF = 11 JACK = 24 KEY = 43
LAZE = 57 MAP = 28 MOVE = 58 NEON = 86
OXEN = 82 PALM = 47 QUIT = 40 QUITE = 60
STALL = 80 TALK = 39 TORE = 73 VAST = 51
WALK = 54
*** Pen and Paper solution only.
E = QUITE - QUIT = 20
L = PALM - MAP = 19
STA = STALL - L - L = 42
V = VAST - STA = 9
HA = HAVE - V - E = 11
M = HAM - HA = 5
O = MOVE - V - M - E = 24
N = (NEON - E - O)/2 = 21
X = OXEN - O - E - N = 17
D = DEN - E - N = 12
