I found this tool for those of us who have issues with calculations. You can type in a word to get point value or the have lists of words for certain point values already compiled.

Keep in mind, this task is for the whole title, not just a title word.

Oh, right. But if you find a word worth 23 points, then you have met requirement because then the title will be over 23 points, right? With the calculator, you could get scores for each word in title too, then add.

Or you could just do it for the whole title.

Just checking - “the whole title” means the total can include the book’s subtitle, yes?

No, this should be limited to just the title.

Oh, I see. Thanks.
