Each letter at odd position is forwarded by 2 and each letter at even position is moved backward by 2. ‘STORED’ is written as ‘URQPGB’: S + 2 = U, T – 2 = R, O + 2 = Q, R – 2 = P, E + 2 = G, D – 2 = B |
Similarly for ‘POINTA’: P + 2 = R, O – 2 = M, I + 2 = K, N – 2 = L, T + 2 = V, A – 2 = Y Hence, code for ‘POINTA’ = RMKLVY |
