The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by `t(n) = 0.5 * n(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 = t(10)`. If the word value is a triangle number then we shall call the word a triangle word.
