Okay let's work with some words to show you how to do this.

GOT IT???

Of course you do.

Let's try another. Click Continue.

The word is

DAD

So you look to your chart to the left.

D = 4, A = 1, D = 4

So DAD is

4 + 1 + 4

4 + 1 + 4 = 9

We always want to keep adding until we get to a single digit. 9 is a 1 digit number. So we are done.

The word DAD = 9
