*********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
NUMBER OF LETTER IN IST WORD × NUMBER OF LETTER IN IIND WORD
AS
'Family * LONG' = 27
NUMBER OF LETTER IN FAMILY = 6
NUMBER OF LETTER IN LONG = 4
= 6 × 4 = 24
AND
'COUPLE' * THE' is coded as '18'
NUMBER OF LETTER IN COUPLE = 6
NUMBER OF LETTER IN THE = 3
= 6 × 3 = 18
SIMILARLY
'OVER * HOSPITAL'
NUMBER OF LETTER IN OVER = 4
NUMBER OF LETTER IN HOSPITAL = 8
= 4 × 8 = 32
