Actually, *all* the totals shown match the given algorithm, unless
I'm *very* confused.

Here's what I have currently:

<p>The score is then:</p>
<pre>
      (1000 * L) - (500 * A) + (100 * H) - (10 * R) - V
</pre>
<p>In case of ties, there is no preference. This should be rare. Note that =
the algorithm essentially encodes a hierarchy of priorities: short words ar=
e preferred (counting apostrophes as half a letter), then words with fewer =
hyphens, words with more pleasing rafsi (this judgment is subjective), and =
finally words with more vowels are chosen. Each decision principle is appli=
ed in turn if the ones before it have failed to choose; it is possible that=
 a lower-ranked principle might dominate a higher-ranked one if it is ten t=
imes better than the alternative.</p>
<p>Here are some lujvo with their scores (not necessarily the lowest scorin=
g forms for these lujvo, nor even necessarily sensible lujvo):</p>
<pre>
