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.

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?
The first letter is moved backward by 1 place, the second by 2 places, the third by 3 places, and so on. How is FISH coded?
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?
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?
