title: How to convert any word into an integer in Python
body: <p>Is there a possible way to convert any word, which is obviously in form of a string to an integer in python.</p>
  
  <p>That might seem utterly stupid and impossible at first, but if you take a look at it, it's a good problem to work on that I have been struggling with so long.</p>
  
  <p>And yes, I have tried many other ways such as using a list to store different integers to their corresponding letters, however; it didn't go very well.</p>
