Coding Logic Analysis: ALLOW to DOORZ
The coding method shifts each letter of the original word forward by a specific number of positions in the alphabet.
Let's examine the transformation from ALLOW to DOORZ:
- A is the 1st letter, D is the 4th. The shift is 4 - 1 = 3 positions.
- L is the 12th letter, O is the 15th. The shift is 15 - 12 = 3 positions.
- O is the 15th letter, R is the 18th. The shift is 18 - 15 = 3 positions.
- W is the 23rd letter, Z is the 26th. The shift is 26 - 23 = 3 positions.
The consistent pattern observed is a +3 letter shift.
Applying Coding Rule to DELAY
We apply the same +3 shift rule to the word DELAY:
- D (4th letter) + 3 positions = 7th letter, which is G.
- E (5th letter) + 3 positions = 8th letter, which is H.
- L (12th letter) + 3 positions = 15th letter, which is O.
- A (1st letter) + 3 positions = 4th letter, which is D.
- Y (25th letter) + 3 positions = 28. Since there are only 26 letters, we wrap around: 28 - 26 = 2. The 2nd letter is B.
Therefore, DELAY is coded as GHODB.
