Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's look at the pattern for the code:
For 'CRAFTED' → 'ETYHVCF':

C+2=E

R+2=T

A−2=Y

F+2=H

T+2=V

E−2=C

D+2=F

Wait, let's verify with 'IMAGE' → 'GOYIC':

I−2=G (or I+6=O? No, let's check positions: I=9, G=7 →−2; M=13, O=15 →+2; A=1, Y=25 →−2; G=7, I=9 →+2; E=5, C=3 →−2).
Ah, let's re-verify:
For IMAGE:
I−2=G
M+2=O
A−2=Y
G+2=I
E−2=C
So the pattern is alternate −2 and +2 starting with −2.

Let's re-check CRAFTED with this pattern:
C+2=E
R+2=T? No, let's look closely at 'CRAFTED' → 'ETYHVCF':
Positions:
C (3) → E (5) [+2]
R (18) → T (20) [+2]
A (1) → Y (25) [-2]
F (6) → H (8) [+2]
T (20) → V (22) [+2]
E (5) → C (3) [-2]
D (4) → F (6) [+2]
Vowels (A, E) are subtracted by 2, and consonants (C, R, F, T, D) are added by 2!

Let's check if this vowel/consonant logic works for IMAGE → GOYIC:

I (Vowel): 9−2=7→ G

M (Consonant): 13+2=15→ O

A (Vowel): 1−2=25→ Y

G (Consonant): 7+2=9→ I

E (Vowel): 5−2=3→ C
Yes! The logic is:

Vowels −2

Consonants +2

Now let's apply this to HAUNT:

H (Consonant): 8+2=10→ J

A (Vowel): 1−2=25→ Y

U (Vowel): 21−2=19→ S

N (Consonant): 14+2=16→ P

T (Consonant): 20+2=22→ V

So, 'HAUNT' becomes JYSPV.
