Default counting words and assigning a numeric value

I need to count words (6 different words) in a column; then assign a numeric
value to each word. I will then sum the different word values. Can you help

Hi KDC,
Perhaps you can count the words using Countif, then just do the math on each
result.
=COUNTIF(A2:A100,"=Word a")
=COUNTIF(A2:A100,"=Word b")
=COUNTIF(A2:A100,"=Word c")
etc
