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

The logic is;

(sum of opposite letters value x3)
So,

‘YEAH’ is coded as ‘207’

(opposite of YEAH is BVZS)

2+22+26+19 x3

207

And,

(opposite of BLUK is YFOP)

25+6+15+16 x3

186

Similarly,

(opposite of CORD is XLIW)

24+12+9+23 x3

204
