Same issue, I really don't see what I may be missing. Can someone help please?
"Each letter of a word scores points according to its position in the alphabet: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 etc.".
is not helpful because according to this instruction Climbing should be of higher value, in no small part because it has more letters, than volcano

edit: i think i got it, but i gotta go to bed, will try finishing tomorrow:))

Come one... How do you find climbing = 8+7+3 or volcano = 7+5+4?

but still, 7+5+4 is less than 8+7+3.
again, what's wrong here?

Each letter of a word scores points according to its position in the alphabet: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 etc.

Use that, it's in the instructions.

Actually volcano = 754 < climbing = 873 what is wrong here!!!????
