If CENTAUR is coded as ACLRYSP, then how will HOP be coded as?

Let's find the pattern between CENTAUR and its code ACLRYSP by looking at alphabet positions:
* C ($3$) $-2\to$ A ($1$)
* E ($5$) $-2\to$ C ($3$)
* N ($14$) $-2\to$ L ($12$)
* T ($20$) $-2\to$ R ($18$)
* A ($1$) $-2\to$ Y ($25$)
* U ($21$) $-2\to$ S ($19$)
* R ($18$) $-2\to$ P ($16$)

The pattern is a shift of $-2$ positions for each letter.

Applying the same pattern to HOP:

* H ($8$) $-2\to$ F ($6$)
* O ($15$) $-2\to$ M ($13$)
* P ($16$) $-2\to$ N ($14$)

Therefore, HOP is coded as FMN.
