You need to work out a different code for each question. Sometimes you will have to find a match for a word by moving forward a number of spaces in the alphabet, and sometimes by moving backward. Count how many spaces there are between a code and its decoded word, and then carry out that same operation on your question. If you completed Related Words 3, you will know that occasionally there will be two calculations to make, for different letters in a word, so watch out for that, and also for words with more than four letters!

Example: If the code for LUCK is JSAI, what does EMMB mean?

GOOD
GOON
FEED
TEED

Answer: GOOD

The key to this code is to work out that each code letter is two spaces back in the alphabet. If L = J, then the code letter (J) has moved two spaces to the left of L, likewise if U = S then the code letter (S) is two spaces to the left of U. Working out the key allows us to work out any letter. If E is the code letter, then we know that it's two spaces to the left, so to get the answer, we must move two spaces to the right (G), likewise for M we must move two spaces to the right (O) and so on. Easy!

If the code for PLAY is QMBZ, what is the code for TIME?

If the code for TAKE is SBJF, what does EJUF mean?
TIME
AWAY
BACK
FIVE
Did you manage to work out the code? It was tricky. The first letter went back one, but the second went forward one, the third went back one and the fourth went forward one. So E = F, J = I, U = V and F = E

If the code for FISH is LOYN, what does LUUJ mean?
TANK
FOOD
DISH
STICK
Did you see that it had to begin with F, because the code letter was the same (L)? The code is 6 places to the right. If that didn't make it easy, maybe STICK did. Lovely as fish sticks are, they have too many letters for this clue!

If the code for BACK is NMOW, what does IMDP mean?
HAND

The second letter in both codes are the same, so you should have worked out that the second letter of the correct answer must be A. The code here was a large 12 places to the right!

If the code for FLAT is IIDQ, what does PXWB mean?

Now that you have completed the whole Related Words series, why not try out some of the other Verbal Reasoning quizzes?
