In this exercise, you would solve several Word Shift Puzzles. First, you need to know what a Word Shift Puzzle is. To learn this word game, follow the following facts and rules:
1. The value of a letter is as the same of its order in English alphabet; hence:
a = 1,
b = 2,
c = 3,
d = 4,
e = 5,
...
x = 24,
y = 25,
z = 26
2. If you shift a letter by one you would get a letter which value is one more than the original letter; for example: if you shift letter 'a' by one you would get the letter 'b'; more examples:
shift 'a' by 2 - result is 'c'
shift 'a' by 3 - result is 'd'
...
shift 'a' by 25 - result is 'z'
shift 'a' by 26 - result is 'a' (note: the value of the shifted letter must be 1+26=27; but we don't have an English letter by a value of 27; so we subtract 26 from 27 that will be 1' i.e. the letter 'a')
shift 'b' by 2 - result is 'd'
shift 'b' by 3 - result is 'e'
shift 'b' by 25 - result is 'a' (note: the value of the shifted letter must be 2+25=27; but we don't have an English letter with a value of 27; so we subtract 26 from 27 that will be 1 i.e. the letter 'a')
shift 'c' by 2 - result is 'e'
shift 'f' by 3 - result is 'i' (because 'f' = 6, and 6 + 3 = 9; where 'i' = 9)
shift 's' by 11 - result is 'd' (because 's' = 19, and 19 + 11 = 30; as 30 is more than 26 so we subtract 26 from 30: 30 - 26 = 4, where 'd' = 9)
OK, now, do the following shifts to make sure you know how to that:
shift 'd' by 1
shift 'd' by 2
shift 'd' by 6
shift 'n' by 1
shift 'n' by 12
shift 'n' by 13
shift 'n' by 14
shift 'n' by 25
shift 'n' by 26
shift 'z' by 1
Answer:
shift 'd' by 1 = 'e'
shift 'd' by 2 = 'f'
shift 'd' by 6 = 'j'
shift 'n' by 1 = 'o'
shift 'n' by 12 = 'z'
shift 'n' by 13 = 'a'
shift 'n' by 14 = 'b'
shift 'n' by 25 = 'm'
shift 'n' by 26 = 'n' (a shift by 26 will be the same letter)
shift 'z' by 1 = 'a'
shift 'z' by 2 = 'b'
shift 'z' by 3 = 'c'
shift 'z' by 25 = 'y'
shift 'z' by 26 = 'z' (again, a shift by 26 will be the same letter)
