Step-by-Step Decoding Process

Comparing Phrases to Find Common Words and Codes

We can find the meaning of individual words by comparing phrases that share common words.

Comparing Phrase 1 and Phrase 3:

• 'heaven plate' = 'flower rage'
• 'kingdom plate' = 'blanket rage'

Both phrases share the word 'plate'. The corresponding coded phrases share the code word 'rage'. This strongly suggests that:

• 'plate' corresponds to 'rage'.

If 'plate' = 'rage', then by looking at Phrase 1 ('heaven plate' = 'flower rage'), we can infer 'heaven' = 'flower'. Similarly, from Phrase 3 ('kingdom plate' = 'blanket rage'), we infer 'kingdom' = 'blanket'.

Comparing Phrase 2 and Phrase 4:

• 'curtain kingdom' = 'computer blanket'
• 'heaven curtain' = 'flower computer'

Both phrases share the word 'curtain'. The corresponding coded phrases share the code word 'computer'. This confirms that:

• 'curtain' corresponds to 'computer'.

If 'curtain' = 'computer', then from Phrase 4 ('heaven curtain' = 'flower computer'), we infer 'heaven' = 'flower'. From Phrase 2 ('curtain kingdom' = 'computer blanket'), we infer 'kingdom' = 'blanket'.
