In a certain code, ‘HIT BIT NIT’ means ‘GIT CIT MIT’; ‘SIT PIT MIT’ means ‘RIT…

In a word-based coding-decoding puzzle where several sentences are given, each original word does not necessarily shift by one fixed universal rule. Instead, the POSITION of a word within the sentence (1st, 2nd, 3rd) often carries its own constant alphabetical shift, and that position-linked shift must repeat correctly across every given sentence before it can be applied to a new one.

Checking the shift at each position across all three given sentences:

1. First word of each sentence shifts back by one letter: H to G, S to R, F to E.

2. Second word of each sentence shifts forward by one letter: B to C, P to Q, Z to A (wrapping from Z to A).

3. Third word of each sentence shifts back by one letter: N to M, M to L, P to O.

This same position-linked pattern holds in every one of the three given sentences, so it is the rule to apply, not a single shift value guessed from one example alone.

Applying this to ‘DIT JIT KIT’: first word D to C (back one), second word J to K (forward one), third word K to J (back one). This gives ‘CIT KIT JIT’.

Cross-check using the third sentence in reverse: the third code word O is one letter back from original word P (P to O), matching the same back-one rule used for the third word here (K to J); and the second code word A is one letter forward from Z (Z to A), matching the same forward-one rule used for the second word here (J to K). Both checks agree, confirming ‘CIT KIT JIT’ as the correct code.
