If CAFE is coded as 3165 and HIDE is coded as 8945, how will you encode HEAD?

Concept: In this alphabet–number coding scheme, each letter is replaced by its serial position in the English alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, … Z = 26), and the digits are written in the same left-to-right order as the letters of the word.

Application:

1. Confirm the rule using CAFE: C = 3, A = 1, F = 6, E = 5, giving 3165 — matching the code given in the question.

2. Confirm the rule using HIDE: H = 8, I = 9, D = 4, E = 5, giving 8945 — matching the code given in the question.

3. Apply the same rule to HEAD, letter by letter in order: H = 8, E = 5, A = 1, D = 4.

4. Write the four positions in order: 8, 5, 1, 4, giving the code 8514.

Cross-check: Re-deriving H, E, A, D independently by counting forward from A (…, G = 7, H = 8, …, D = 4) reproduces the same four digits, confirming 8514 is the only value consistent with the coding pattern shown for CAFE and HIDE.
