If TABLE is coded as WDEOH, then POOR is coded as?

This is a letter-shifting code: every letter of a word is moved forward by the same fixed number of places in the alphabet to obtain every letter of its code. The fixed shift amount is worked out from the example pair given, then applied identically to each letter of the new word — including repeated letters, which must shift by the identical amount every time they appear.

1. Compare TABLE with its code WDEOH letter by letter: T→W, A→D, B→E, L→O, E→H.

2. Each of these moves is exactly 3 places forward in the alphabet, so the fixed shift for this code is +3.

3. Apply the same +3 shift to every letter of POOR: P→S, O→R (first O), O→R (second O), R→U.

4. Reading the shifted letters in order gives S, R, R, U.

Reversing the same shift by moving each letter of SRRU back 3 places gives S→P, R→O, R→O, U→R, which reconstructs POOR exactly — confirming the shift works in both directions, exactly as WDEOH shifts back by 3 to reconstruct TABLE.

So POOR is coded as SRRU.
