Default Calculating a sum of various lenght

I want to be able to place a word and assign a value to it according to the
position of its letters in the alphabet.

ie ONE = 15 for O + 14 for N + 5 for E = 34
TWO = 58

I have developed the formula
SUM(FIND(MID(A1,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14, 15,16},1),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"))-(16-LEN(A1))

is there some way to modify it so it says sum(find(mid(a1,{1..len(a1)},1)

Alan
