| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 82 |

Quest carries an ordinal value of 82, reducing to One, a number tied to new beginnings and independence. Its reverse ordinal of 53 sits well below its forward ordinal of 82, a sign that most of its letters fall late in the alphabet.
"Quest" comes from the Old French queste and the Latin quaerere, "to seek." The word is bound up with medieval legends such as the quest for the Holy Grail, and with the modern idea of a journey made to find something of deep importance.
How Quest adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Quest is spelled Q-U-E-S-T, which gives 17 + 21 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 82. Reducing the total to a single digit (8+2=10, then 1+0=1) gives 1.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| Q | 17 |
| U | 21 |
| E | 5 |
| S | 19 |
| T | 20 |
| Total | 82 |
