The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, tn = ½n(n+1);
|
|
so the first ten triangle numbers are:
|
|
|
|
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
|
|
|
|
By converting each letter in a word to a number corresponding to its alphabetical
|
|
position and adding these values we form a word value. For example, the word value
|
|
for SKY is 19 + 11 + 25 = 55 = t10. If the word value is a triangle number then we
|
|
shall call the word a triangle word.

Using words.txt, a 16K text file containing nearly two-thousand common English words,
|
|
how many are triangle words?
