If TYPING is coded as UASMSM, how would you code SCREEN?
Solution
Analyzing the coding pattern from TYPING to UASMSM:
Compare each letter position:
T → U
Y → A
P → S
I → M
N → S
G → M
Examining the alphabet shifts:
T (position 20) → U (position 21): shift of +1
Y (position 25) → A (position 1): shift of +2 (wraps around)
P (position 16) → S (position 19): shift of +3
I (position 9) → M (position 13): shift of +4
N (position 14) → S (position 19): shift of +5
G (position 7) → M (position 13): shift of +6
The pattern: each letter shifts forward by its position number in the word (1st letter +1, 2nd letter +2, 3rd letter +3, etc.)
Applying this pattern to SCREEN:
S (position 19) + 1 = 20 → T
C (position 3) + 2 = 5 → E
R (position 18) + 3 = 21 → U
E (position 5) + 4 = 9 → I
E (position 5) + 5 = 10 → J
N (position 14) + 6 = 20 → T
Therefore, SCREEN is coded as TEUIJT.
The answer is Option 4: TEUIJT
