Logic: Multiple by 3 in each alphabet's positional value.
COVER' is coded as '9- 45-66-15-54'
| C | O | V | E | R |
| 3 | 15 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 × 3 = 9 | 15 × 3 = 45 | 22 × 3 = 66 | 5 × 3 = 15 | 18 × 3 = 54 |
'BOAST' is coded as '6-45-3-57-60'
| B | O | A | S | T |
| 2 | 15 | 1 | 19 | 20 |
| 2 × 3 = 6 | 15 × 3 = 45 | 1 × 3 = 3 | 19 × 3 = 57 | 20 × 3 = 60 |
Similarly, 'APRON' is coded as '3-48-54-45-42'
| A | P | R | O | N |
