Step-by-Step Logic for FOOD ------- HRQG
To find the code for FOOD, we apply an alternating shift pattern to each letter based on its position in the alphabet.
1. Analyze the Pattern in "FARM"F moves forward 2 places to become HA moves forward 3 places to become DR moves forward 2 places to become TM moves forward 3 places to become P
Pattern: +2, +3, +2, +3
2. Verify the Pattern in "EGGS"E moves forward 2 places to become GG moves forward 3 places to become JG moves forward 2 places to become IS moves forward 3 places to become V The pattern is consistent.
3. Apply the Pattern to "FOOD"F (+2) results in HO (+3) results in RO (+2) results in QD (+3) results in G
