Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to calculate the value of a word?
In numerology, it is common to associate a numerical value to each letter of a word, a value, usually its rank in the alphabet. Take A=1 until Z=26, and add the numeric values found for each letter (the letters calculator sum up automatically) to get the word's value:
Example: DCODE = D+C+O+D+E = 4+3+15+4+5 = 31
Numerology is a pseudo-science, it is a belief without scientific foundation, attention to its use by charlatans.
Alphabet letters default value chart:
| A | 1 | B | 2 | C | 3 | D | 4 | E | 5 | F | 6 | G | 7 | H | 8 | I | 9 | J | 10 | K | 11 | L | 12 | M | 13 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | 14 | O | 15 | P | 16 | Q | 17 | R | 18 | S | 19 | T | 20 | U | 21 | V | 22 | W | 23 | X | 24 | Y | 25 | Z | 26 |
To solve the calculations like ABC+DEF=GHI use the solver of cryptarithms.
How to find the digital root (only 1 digit)?
Numerology uses recursive reduction, which consists in applying the calculation (usually addition) until having only one digit:
Example: DCODE = 31 and 3+1 = 4
This calculation also called digital root, is widely used to associate a number between 0 and 9 to a name.
What is the sum of all 26 letters of the alphabet?
The sum A+B+C+…+Z so 1+2+3+…+26 is equal to 351.
What is the signification of the value found?
The value of a word has no scientific meaning. Any statement about the value of a word has no scientific basis, yet many numerology beliefs make values say just about anything (love, chance, death, etc.).
