Solution:

“Reverse and -2,”

Original Word: EATING First, reverse the word: GNITAE
subtract 2 from the alphabetical position of each letter:

• G → E
• N → L
• I → G
• T → R
• A → Y
• E → C

So, ‘EATING’ is coded as ELGRYC.

Now, let’s apply the same process to ‘COFFEE’:

Original Word: COFFEE First, reverse the word: EEFFOC Now, apply the rule “-2” to each letter:

• E → C
• E → C
• F → D
• F → D
• O → M
• C → A

So, the code for ‘COFFEE’ is CCDDMA.
