For
instance, the word 'Nobody' is a 6 letter word, the first element of its code
will be ' %'. Further, it has 2 vowels, the second element of the code will be
'x'. Now, as it has 4 consonants, the third elements of its code will be
'€'.
Clearly,
the complete code for the word 'Nobody' will be '%x€'.

(6 – 10): Explanation:
1. Each of the symbols of mathematical operations in the end of the code
represents the number of letters its corresponding word does have.

2. Now, the letters used in the middle of the codes represent two
methods. Some words end with a consonant and the other end with a vowel. A
consonant representing the word it belongs to, gets coded as the next letter in
the alphabet and a vowel representing the word it belongs to, gets coded as the
previous letter of this vowel in the alphabet.
For example,
The word 'Worker' ends with 'R' and the next letter to 'R' in the
alphabet is 'S'. So, the code of 'Worker' made applying the rules discussed so
far would be " _S@.
3. The number in each of the codes represents the number of consonants
present in each of the words.
For instance,
The number of consonants in the word 'Worker' is 4. Hence, the complete
code for 'Worker' will be 4S@.

2. Each letter in the code word represents the last letter of the word.
For instance, with the information till now ROSE is coded as _#E.
3. Each number in the code word represents the Number of letters in the
word + Reverse Alphabet order of the last letter of the word. For instance,
ROSE is coded as
4 + (Reverse Alphabet order of E = 22) = 26
26#E is the code for letter ROSE
