Solution

The code for SMOKE in the same language would be RNLJC.

Here's how we get that:

  1. Look at the original word and its code: CHIMNEY is coded as HGNLSDD.
  2. Notice that each letter in the coded word is two places before the corresponding letter in the original word in the English alphabet. For example, C is coded as H (two letters after C is H), H is coded as G (two letters before H is G), and so on.
  3. Apply the same rule to the word SMOKE.
    • Two letters before S is U, but in this code, we are going two letters after, so it becomes R.
    • Two letters before M is O, but in this code, we are going two letters after, so it becomes N.
    • Two letters before O is Q, but in this code, we are going two letters after, so it becomes L.
    • Two letters before K is M, but in this code, we are going two letters after, so it becomes J.
    • Two letters before E is G, but in this code, we are going two letters after, so it becomes C.
  4. So, the code for SMOKE is RNLJC.
