(1 – 5):
Logic:
1) 1st element
represents position of first letter of word in modified English alphabet.
2) 2nd element
is a symbol that represents number of letter in word.

of first letter in modified English alphabet.
@ → 3 letter word
E → the last letter of
the word)
Hence, “The” is coded as
“1@E”
Symbols: number of
letters:
! -> 2; @ -> 3; $
-> 4; # -> 5; % -> 6; ^ -> 7; & -> 8; * -> 9
