Can Anyone Find or Make this Word from Value Calculator?

    Hi,

    I am currently using this "Word Value" and "Word from Value" Calculator at this page:
    https://www.dcode.fr/word-value

    What it does is:
    1. Converts words to numbers based on "A=1, B=2, C=3, etc..." and then adds up the sum of it.
    Hence the word "CAT" = 3+1+20 = 24
    3. Converts numbers to words by doing the reverse.
    Hence the numbers 24 = CAT

    Can anyone find out where else is offering such a tool?

    Or else is there someone able to duplicate such a web tool?
     
    Solved! View solution.

    This can be duplicated if you can provide a database of all valid english words.

    Then a database will need to be made which stores actual word plus its numerical value.

    When someone searches "24", it will list all words which have a numerical value of 24 in the database.

    What is the use of this anyways?

    Can the word sources be obtained from public sources such as https://wordnet.princeton.edu/ and https://www.wiktionary.org/ ? This is what I found out the word from value calculator is doing.

    A program can be created to scan every word and store its numerical value into a database to be pulled back when required.

    This is for numerology usage.

    I'm looking for either another tool like the one I mentioned (unfortunately they started limiting the results to 250 words), or I hope to find a programmer who can duplicate it for me.

    I understood the calculation for first 2 methods, addition and reduction, but was not able to find the calculation for the third "multiply" method.
    How is that one done?

    I only need the addition/sum method. That is the only one I use on that page.

    How would you go about creating such a database btw?

    And what database would you use? SQL?

    I have create a new thread with a more specific subject and a better project description. We can continue the discussion here:

    Give me some time, trying to download dictionary files. Really big files. Do you have MYSQL and PHP hosting?

    Could you let me know which links you are downloading from? I would like to download too so I can get a feel of how long it might take to download the files and how big they are.
    Do you know which links are the correct ones that contain the word files? Or do you just download every link and then check the files to find out after that?

    I have a dedicated server on Liquid Web. It is a linux server with PHP and MYSQL.

    I downloaded a couple of files from there, but most are corrupt, won't unzip. Not even with 7zip.
    They are basically html webpages of their website, zipped and made available for download.
    One I downloaded was named html.lst, which did not worked.
    Then I downloaded another tar.7z file from articles folder, which even on 100MBPS connection did not got downloaded completely. So cannot unzip it.

    But I think I have found another place from where I can get words and make a database for you. About 200,000 words are enough?

    Did you get a SQL database file in any of those zips? If so, please upload somewhere so I can download here and use it in the script.

    Let me try if I can find again the links I downloaded. Will post here if I do find.

    I don't know why you need a massive database of words for this seems like overkill, found this on the web, copy and paste it into a html file, it does the letters to numbers calculation but not the numbers to words, I imagine a competent programmer could sort that quite easily.

        var sum = 0;

        // Only count letters.

    Word to number is simple, no problem there.
    The massive database is for the reverse itself, numbers to word.
    Store the word and its pre-calculated number in the database.
    When someone enters a number in the search, simply pull out the words which have that same number.
    With an index on the number column, this will be fairly quick.

    Any other way you can think off please let us know.
    Thanks

    I have made a database, I was able to get roughly 90k words total.
    I have not made any user interface yet. sending query directly to get results.
    If you want me to complete the project, let me know and we can decide on a small fee...
    If there are any more requirements, please let me know now so that I can adjust the database accordingly.
    I hope this is what you wanted...

    This is the result I am getting when I search for "numbers"

    One of the list of words was taken from this hierarchy of links:
    https://wordnet.princeton.edu/
    https://wordnet.princeton.edu/download
    https://wordnet.princeton.edu/download/current-version
    https://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/wn3.1.dict.tar.gz
    wn3.1.dict\dict\adj.txt (The folder and file in the zip file)

    I'm looking forward to the links you tried downloading from which gave trouble so I can check it myself.

    Btw, I would also like to know which word source you got your words from. I have been finding other word sources as well and would like to compare and decide which ones to use.

    Your query results is an example of what I am looking for. Do you have a personal website or Facebook that we could connect with? You can PM me about it if you like.

    I'm curious - why would you ever want a list of words with a specific value?

    The only reason I can see for him assigning values to words is when he is dealing with words in languages that assign values to individual letters, like Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and so on. However, he is not doing that at all.
