1. Analyze the Example Pattern (OCCUPANT → QEEWRCPV)
Each letter of the word shifts forward by 2 positions (+2) to create the code:
- O (15) +2→ Q (17)
- C (3) +2→ E (5)
- C (3) +2→ E (5)
- U (21) +2→ W (23)
- P (16) +2→ R (18)
- A (1) +2→ C (3)
- N (14) +2→ P (16)
- T (20) +2→ V (22)
2. Decode the Target Code (FYZGRYLR)
- F (6) +2→ H (8)
- Y (25) +2→ A (1) (wraps around after Z)
- Z (26) +2→ B (2) (wraps around after Z)
- G (7) +2→ I (9)
- R (18) +2→ T (20)
- Y (25) +2→ A (1) (wraps around after Z)
- L (12) +2→ N (14)
- R (18) +2→ T (20)
Putting it together gives: HABITANT
