The answer is not 6134
What do you make it? Where does this question come from?

Look for repeating letters or numbers.
3 is the 2nd digit in all numbers so it needs to correspond with the letter A; 3=A. That also means REAL is not represented in any of the numbers so we can ignore it. Then we can see two numbers ending with 1 and two words ending with the same letter, so 1=E. So we can deduct the number not ending with 1 must correspond with the word not ending with E, hence 1326=EARL. LEAP=6135 (P must be 5 since we already know other numbers in PALE = _361)
