#38  Highest Scoring Word


Given a string of words, you need to find the highest scoring word.


Each letter of a word scores points according to it's position in the alphabet: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 etc.


You need to return the highest scoring word as a string.


If two words score the same, return the word that appears earliest in the original string.


All letters will be lowercase and all inputs will be valid.
