Decoding the Language

To find the code for the word 'SIMPLE', we first need to determine the rule used to convert 'BASKET' into 'UFLTBC'. The encoding is a two-step process.

Step 1: Discovering the Rule

Let's analyze the transformation of 'BASKET'.

1. Reverse the original word: The word 'BASKET' reversed is 'TEKSAB'.
2. Shift each letter forward by one position in the alphabet (+1):
   • T (+1) → U
   • E (+1) → F
   • K (+1) → L
   • S (+1) → T
   • A (+1) → B
   • B (+1) → C

Combining these letters gives the coded word 'UFLTBC', which matches the example. So, the rule is: Reverse the word, then increment each letter.

Step 2: Applying the Rule to 'SIMPLE'

Now we apply the same two-step rule to the word 'SIMPLE'.

1. Reverse the word: The word 'SIMPLE' reversed is 'ELPMIS'.
2. Shift each letter forward by one position:
   • E (+1) → F
   • L (+1) → M
   • P (+1) → Q
   • M (+1) → N
   • I (+1) → J
   • S (+1) → T

Conclusion

After applying the rule, the coded word for 'SIMPLE' is FMQNJT.
