**********************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

REVERSE THE WORD

EVERY LETTER IS CODED WITH POSITIONAL VALUE

FAMOUS  =  SUOMAF

S → (PLACE VALUE) → 19

U → (PLACE VALUE) → 2

O → (PLACE VALUE) → 15

M → (PLACE VALUE) → 13

A → (PLACE VALUE) → 1

F → (PLACE VALUE) → 16

AND

GARDEN = NEDRAG

N → (PLACE VALUE) → 14

E → (PLACE VALUE) → 5

D  → (PLACE VALUE) → 4

R → (PLACE VALUE) → 18

A → (PLACE VALUE) → 1

G → (PLACE VALUE) → 7

SIMILARLY

LEADER = REDAEL

R → (PLACE VALUE) → 18

E → (PLACE VALUE) → 5

D → (PLACE VALUE) → 4

A → (PLACE VALUE) → 1

E → (PLACE VALUE) → 5

L → (PLACE VALUE) → 2
