Determine the "Luck" of a string

Question

Given a string, return that string's "luck".

A string's luck, as I completely just made up for the purpose of this challenge, is an integer, determined as so:

• The base luck for a string is 1.
• For each consecutive letter it shares with the word "lucky" (case insensitive), multiply the luck by 2. For instance, if your string was "lumberjack" or "smack" you'd multiply by 4. (More specifically, 2^number of consecutive characters shared.)
  • The shared letters have to be in the same consecutive order it appears in "lucky" but can start anywhere in the word for the same value ("luc" has the same 8* multiplier as "cky").
  • If the word has multiple occurrences where it shares consecutive characters with lucky, use the longest consecutive string of the characters.
• For ANY letter it shares with the word "omen" subtract 2 from the luck.
  • It can match a character any amount of times, in any order. For instance the string "nnnnnomemenn" loses 24 luck (12 matching letters)

Example:

luck("lucky")
>>32

2^5 (5 consecutive letters) = 32

luck("firetruck")
>>6

2^3 - 2 (3 consecutive letters from uck, e shared with omen)

luck("memes")
>>-7

1 - 8 (base amount, 4 shared with "omen")

This is code golf, so the answer with the fewest bytes wins.

You can input and output any way you'd like - write a function, use standard input, etc.

For functions, assume whatever data type would make sense for that language. (For example, in JavaScript, you'd be passed a String and return a Number)

Edit: You can assume any input is lowercase.

String#count's finnicky usage strikes again! (When passed a String, it counts all occurrences of each letter in the function argument instead of all occurrences of the entire string.)

Try it online

->s{2**(z=0..5).max_by{|j|z.map{|i|s[b="lucky"[i,j]]?b.size: 0}.max}-2*s.count("omen")}

Ruby, 57 bytes

b=gets.count'omen'
$.+=1while/[lucky]{#$.}/
p 2**$./2-2*b

gets sets $. to 1 as a side effect, then we increment it until the regular expression matching $. consecutive lucky characters no longer matches.

Another approach... I just learned about function aliasing

import Data.List
s=subsequences
i=intersect
l=length
f n=2^(l$last$i(s"lucky")$s n)-2*l(i n$"omen")

Usage

f"lucky"
32

f"firetruck"
6

f"memes"
-7

Mathematica, 86 bytes

Code:

2^StringLength@LongestCommonSubsequence[#,"lucky"]-2StringCount[#,{"o","m","e","n"}]&

Explanation:

LongestCommonSubsequence returns the longest contiguous substring common to the input and "lucky". StringLength gives its length. StringCount counts the number of occurrences of the characters of "omen" in the input.

Python 3, 168 157 152 139 144 136 bytes

EDIT: Really obvious things I should have seen easier have been changed, and some slightly less obvious.

Edit 2: stoopid (˚n˚). The program threw errors. I fixed it up. not actually 153 :(

Thanks to Leaky Nun for saving 5 bytes, and to jmilloy for saving 13 8 bytes.

s=input()
p=q=k=len(s)
m=0
while-~p:
 while-~q:m=(m,q-p)[(s[p:q]in"lucky")*q-p>m];q-=1
 p-=1;q=k
print(2**m-2*sum(i in"omen"for i in s))

The program runs through all possibly possible substrings in input (possibly possible, because it computes impossible substrings as well, 8 to 7, for example), checks if the substring is in "lucky", then sets the exponent of 2 to the length of the substring should it be greater than the current value. Possibly could be improved by using only one while loop. Could possibly use some improvement; I'm still getting the hang of this.

quantum leap fails for multiple substrings where the first occurence is shorter. :(

usage: php -d error_reporting=0 <filename> <string>

+5 for a function:
