Then,
K+ N +O +W+ L +E+D+G+E
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%

H+A+R +D+W+ O+ R +K
8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98%

Both are important, but the total falls just short of 100%

But,
A+T +T + I+T + U +D+E
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%
Also,
L+ A +Z +I+ N +E+S+S
12 + 1 + 26 + 9 + 14 + 5 + 19 + 19 = 105%

S+T+U +P+I+ D+ I +T + Y
19 + 20 + 21 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 9 + 20 + 25 = 143%

So it’s all up to you……..
