DESCRIPTION ! ----------- ! The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, ! tn = n * (n + 1) / 2; 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 (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 16K text file ! containing nearly two-thousand common English words, how many are triangle ! words? !
