My daughter had once asked me " Dad, if A=1, B= 2, C= 3,....Z=26.  Then do you know which word totals 100 " . As I knew the answer, I said, " It is ATTITUDE = 1+20+20+9+21+4+5 = 100"

The next thing that made me wonder was how many words are there in English that totals 100. I then had to do some research and found about 906 words that totals 100. The words are below separated by comma. See if you can add more;
