Question

Analyze the given letter series carefully. Each letter in the group follows a consistent pattern of shifting forward by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet (with wrap-around after Z). Identify the missing group based on this pattern:

AEL, MQX, YCJ, KOV, WAH, ?

Accepted Answer

Let us check the pattern of the first letters of each group:

A (+ 12) ⟹ M (+ 12) ⟹ Y (+ 12) ⟹ K (+ 12) ⟹ W (+ 12) ⟹ I

Let's double-check the positions:

A (1) + 12 = 13 (M)

M (13) + 12 = 25 (Y)

Y (25) + 12 = 37 - 26 = 11 (K)

K (11) + 12 = 23 (W)

W (23) + 12 = 35 - 26 = 9 (I)

Second letters:

E (5) + 12 = 17 (Q)

Q (17) + 12 = 29 - 26 = 3 (C)

C (3) + 12 = 15 (O)

O (15) + 12 = 27 - 26 = 1 (A)

A (1) + 12 = 13 (M)

Third letters:

L (12) + 12 = 24 (X)

X (24) + 12 = 36 - 26 = 10 (J)

J (10) + 12 = 22 (V)

V (22) + 12 = 34 - 26 = 8 (H)

H (8) + 12 = 20 (T)

The next term is

IMT
