Explanation
Solving
-
Logic Discovery (FRIEND→GTLISJ):
-
F+1=G
-
R+2=T
-
I+3=L
-
E+4=I
-
N+5=S
-
D+6=J
-
Pattern: Addition of consecutive natural numbers (+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6).
-
Finding the Original Word (Decoding HWDVI):
Since we need to find the word that results in the code, we perform the reverse operation (subtraction):
-
H−1=G
-
W−2=U
-
D−3=A
-
V−4=R
-
I−5=D
-
Result: GUARD
