TICHCOPSY
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
This is a syllable-based word-coding pattern: the word is divided into its natural pronounceable syllables (the letters within each syllable stay in their original left-to-right order), and the code is produced by writing those syllables in REVERSE order — the last syllable first and the first syllable last.
The example confirms the rule: NEUROTIC divides into the syllables NEU, RO, TIC; reversing their order gives TIC, RO, NEU, i.e. TICRONEU — exactly the code given in the question.
PSYCHOTIC (9 letters) divides into the syllables PSY, CHO, TIC.
Reversing the order of these three syllables (last to first) gives TIC, CHO, PSY.
Concatenating them without changing any internal letter order gives TICCHOPSY.
Reassembling TICCHOPSY letter by letter (TIC, CHO, PSY) reproduces exactly the nine letters of PSYCHOTIC in the same syllable groups, confirming the mapping is consistent and that no segment's internal letter order was disturbed — the same check that validates NEUROTIC to TICRONEU.
