Let’s learn

Core knowledge: Code questions use a consistent mapping or transformation that must be inferred from examples.

Infer a code rule, apply it consistently and verify with the example.

See it

If each letter shifts forward by 2, CAT becomes ECV: C→E, A→C, T→V (wrapping after Z when needed).

Try it together

Test candidate rules against every letter in two supplied example pairs.

Now you try

1. With +1 code, encode DOG. 2. Decode UJNF using −1. 3. If A=1, B=2, find the total for BAD.

Check your answers

1. EPH. 2. TIME. 3. 2 + 1 + 4 = 7.
