Let’s recheck this carefully — the trick here is different from simple position matching.
Given:
HAVE → 2648
VOLT → 3961
Add the digits
HAVE → 2 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 20
VOLT → 3 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 19
Now check alphabetical positions:
H(8) + A(1) + V(22) + E(5) = 36
V(22) + O(15) + L(12) + T(20) = 69
Observe relation
Notice:
This suggests a transformation is applied to total values, not individual letters.
Focus on common letter V
Let value of V = x
From HAVE:
H(8) + A(1) + V(x) + E(5) = 14 + x
From VOLT:
V(x) + O(15) + L(12) + T(20) = x + 47
Now compare with coded sums:
HAVE → 20
VOLT → 19
So:
14 + x → relates to 20
x + 47 → relates to 19
To satisfy both patterns, solving gives:
x = 6
