Using the usual method:
5 4 1 6
6 4 1 5
3 4 2 5
5 = W, 4 = H, 1 = A, therefore:
6415 = THAW
5416 = WHAT
3425 = SHOW
So far, so straightforward.
WHAT IS THE WORD FOR 5764?
From the above, the word must be W(*)TH. The only possible answer is WITH. You therefore now know that 7 = I, and the rest follows from there.
I proof-read these papers when they were first published some years ago and queried the tortuous route required to solve this question, but the author was adamant that it was a valid question. I am still not convinced!
Senthi - as an aside, please could I ask you to try not to make whole posts in capital letters? I do appreciate that for this type of question it is perhaps more difficult/fiddly, especially if using a mobile.
