Nice! Here's my implementation:
const solve = word => word.split(/[uoiea]/) .map(s => s.split('') .reduce((acc, c) => acc + (c.charCodeAt(0) - 96), 0)) .sort((a, b) => b-a)[0];
Very nice, I wasn't aware of the c.charCodeAt(0) - 96 rule, didn't work with chars very much in all these years to be honest.
c.charCodeAt(0) - 96
It only works with lowercase a to z, because UTF-16 represents them as contiguous code points, starting at 97.
