Add the word length to the alphabet position of every letter, using wraparound, and then reverse the result. LAMP becomes TQEP. How is TRAIN coded?
Correct answer: A. SNFWY
- A. SNFWY
- B. SNGWY
- C. YWFNS
- D. SNFYW
Explanation
TRAIN has five letters, so add 5 to get Y, W, F, N, and S. Reversing these letters gives SNFWY.

About Coding and Decoding
Coding and decoding questions replace letters, numbers, words or symbols with another pattern and ask you to identify the rule or decode a new item. Methods include alphabet positions, shifts, reversals, substitution, rearrangement, numerical values and separate rules for different parts of a code.

More Coding and Decoding questions
First swap the letters in each adjacent pair, then move every resulting letter one place forward. For example, MATE becomes BNUF. How is FISH coded?
Each letter is moved forward by a number of places equal to its own alphabet position, using alphabet wraparound. BAT becomes DBN. How is LAMP coded?
Each letter is written as a two digit alphabet position, and the two digits are then reversed. For example, FISH becomes 60919080. How is CODE coded?
Multiply each letter's alphabet position by its position in the word, convert back to letters using wraparound, and then reverse the result. CODE becomes TLDC. How is MATE coded?
Using A=1 through Z=26, replace each letter by the remainder when its position is divided by 3. Write a remainder of 0 as 3. How is BIRD coded?
In this code, vowels stay unchanged. Each consonant is replaced by the next consonant in alphabetical order. How is FISH coded?
