Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
*********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF POSITIONAL VALUE + NO. OF CONSONANTS
AS
SAFETY
19 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 20 + 25 = 76
76 + 4 = 80
AND
EXPAND
5 + 24 + 16 + 1 +14 + 4 = 64
64 + 4 = 68
SIMILARLY
GATHER
7 + 1 + 20 + 8 + 5 + 18 = 59
59 + 4 = 63
