Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the relationship between the letters of 'PLAYER' and its code 'CNRSFZ':
Split the 6-letter word into two halves: 'PLA' and 'YER'.
Reverse each half:

'PLA' → 'ALP'

'YER' → 'REY'

Now apply a constant increment of +2 to each letter:

A+2=C

L+2=N

P+2=R

R+2=T? Wait, the code has 'S', 'F', 'Z' for the second half. Let's check:
Y+1=Z, E+1=F, R+1=S.
Ah, let's look closely at the letters in order:
Code: C N R S F Z
For 'PLA':
P→R(+2)
L→N(+2)
A→C(+2)
So the first 3 letters are reversed and shifted by +2. ('PLA' → 'ALP' → +2 gives 'CNR').

For 'YER':
Y→Z(+1)
E→F(+1)
R→S(+1)
The last 3 letters are kept in the same relative order or reversed?
Let's check: 'YER' → +1 gives 'ZFS'. If reversed, it becomes 'SFZ'.
Yes! The second half is also reversed and shifted by +1. ('YER' → 'REY' → +1 gives 'SFZ').

Let's double check with 'LIQUID' → 'SKNEJV':
First half 'LIQ' → reverse to 'QIL' → shift +2:

Q+2=S

I+2=K

L+2=N
Result: 'SKN' (matches).

Second half 'UID' → reverse to 'DIU' → shift +1:

D+1=E

I+1=J

U+1=V
Result: 'EJV' (matches).

Now apply this pattern to 'RECORD':
First half 'REC' → reverse to 'CER' → shift +2:

C+2=E

E+2=G

R+2=T
First part of code: 'EGT'

Second half 'ORD' → reverse to 'DRO' → shift +1:

D+1=E

R+1=S

O+1=P
Second part of code: 'ESP'

Combining both parts gives 'EGTESP'.
