Numbered Letters
If each letter has a value (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc.), what words have a total letter value of exactly 100 when you add up all of the letters?
Are there any words that equal 100 if the letter values are swapped (z=1, y=2, ....., a=26)?

Answer
One word is "towers":T=20
O=15
W=23
E=5
R=18
S=19
20+15+23+5+18+19=100
And if the values are reversed....
Another word is "medal":
M=14
E=22
D=23
A=26
L=15

I like this teaser. I couldn't be bothered thinking of any more but it was fun working it out. I am sure there are a lot more words like this that equal 100.
