Decoding the Word Code Pattern

This problem involves a simple coding language where words are assigned numerical codes. We need to identify the pattern used to code the words 'TWO' and 'FIVE' to determine the code for 'EIGHT'.

Analyzing the Given Codes

Let's examine the provided examples:

• Word: 'TWO'
• Number of letters: 3 (T, W, O)
• Given Code: 3

• Observation: The code '3' matches the number of letters in the word 'TWO'.

• Word: 'FIVE'
• Number of letters: 4 (F, I, V, E)
• Given Code: 4

• Observation: The code '4' matches the number of letters in the word 'FIVE'.

Identifying the Coding Rule

Based on the analysis of 'TWO' and 'FIVE', the pattern seems to be straightforward: the code assigned to a word is equal to the total number of letters present in that word.

Applying the Rule to 'EIGHT'

Now, let's apply this identified rule to the word 'EIGHT':

• Word: 'EIGHT'
• Number of letters: 5 (E, I, G, H, T)

According to the pattern, the code for 'EIGHT' should be the count of its letters.

Therefore, the code for 'EIGHT' is 5.
