Question

A word game awards points for the letters used in a word. The lower the frequency of the letter in the English language, the higher the score for the letter. Write a program that asks the user to input a word. The program should then output the score for the word according to the following rules:

I have tied written two pieces of code for this task I want to know if there are any other more logic and simple ways of doing this.

First Try:

Answer 1

letters = ("e","a","r","i","o","t","n","s","l","c","u","d","p","m","h" ,"g","b","f","y","w","k","v","x","z","j","q")
points = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 ,24,25,26)
word = 'nThsnth'

letter_points = dict(zip(letters, points))
total = sum(letter_points.get(c, 0) for c in word.lower())

Is there a simpler way of writing this code than the two ways I have tried?
