For BRIGHT : Consonants: B (2), R (18), G (7), H (8), T (20) Sum: 2 + 18 + 7 + 8 + 20 = 55 Add number of letters (6): 55 + 6 = 61 For FLASH: Consonants: F (6), L (12), S (19), H (8) Sum: 6 + 12 + 19 + 8 = 45 Add number of letters (5): 45 + 5 = 50 For GLOW: Consonants: G (7), L (12), W (23) Sum: 7 + 12 + 23 = 42 Add number of letters (4): 42 + 4 = 46
