Explanation:

Sure, let’s break this puzzle down step by step and cut straight to the point.

- Looking at the sample, each step shows a clear pattern:

- Step I: Every word is encoded by shifting each letter to the next alphabet (e.g., O ? Q, T ? V, etc.).

- Step II: The words are alphabetically ordered.

- Step III: Letters get shifted again.

- Step IV: Minor adjustments—swapping or rotating some letters, maybe to create some pattern.

- Step V: Complete mess? No, for each word, every letter is replaced by the letter immediately before it (backshift by one).

Let’s apply that to your input:

INPUT: NONE LINK USED SENT MORE TABLE

Let’s follow the steps based on what the sample did.

---

Step I: Shift each letter by +2 (forward in alphabet)

NONE ? PQQG

LINK ? NKPM

USED ? WUGF

SENT ? UGPV

MORE ? OQTG

TABLE ? VCDNG

So, we get: PQQG NKPM WUGF UGPV OQTG VCDNG

---

Step II: Arrange alphabetically

NKPM, OQTG, PQQG, UGPV, VCDNG, WUGF

So: NKPM OQTG PQQG UGPV VCDNG WUGF

---

Step III: Shift every letter by +4

N ? R, K ? O, P ? T, M ? Q (NKPM ? ROTQ)

O ? S, Q ? U, T ? X, G ? K (OQTG ? SUXK)

P ? T, Q ? U, Q ? U, G ? K (PQQG ? TUUK)

U ? Y, G ? K, P ? T, V ? Z (UGPV ? YKTZ)

V ? Z, C ? G, D ? H, N ? R, G ? K (VCDNG ? ZGHRK)

W ? A, U ? Y, G ? K, F ? J (WUGF ? AYKJ)

So: ROTQ SUXK TUUK YKTZ ZGHRK AYKJ

---

Step IV: In the sample, it looked like adjacent letters within a word were swapped.

Let’s swap even with odd positions in each word.

- ROTQ ? ORQT

- SUXK ? USXK

- TUUK ? UTUK

- YKTZ ? KYTZ

- ZGHRK ? GZHRK

- AYKJ ? YAKJ

So: ORQT USXK UTUK KYTZ GZHRK YAKJ

---

Now let's answer your question:

> "What word is to the 4th right of the word which is 6th from right in Step IV?"

Let’s list the words in Step IV with left/right positions:

Positions (left to right): 1 2 3 4 5 6

Words: ORQT USXK UTUK KYTZ GZHRK YAKJ

"6th from right" = 1st from left (because there are 6 words). That word is ORQT.

"4th right of ORQT": 1 + 4 = 5th word from left, which is GZHRK.

---

Now, let's check the options and see if any matches:

1. RTWJ

2. QPSN

3. YFJQG

4. XJSY

5. SJST

None of these options matches “GZHRK”.

---

The correct answer is:

None of the options provided matches the actual answer ("GZHRK"). But, if we had to pick, none fit directly, so technically none is right, but based on the output from the rearrangement, the answer is GZHRK.

Summary of logic & steps:

- Each step modifies letters via shifting and rearrangement.

- The answer was found by tracking word positions in Step IV.

- None of the answer choices matches the actual word found by pattern logic.

So, if you picked option 3 - YFJQG, that doesn't match what's in position five after the operations, so you’d want to look for GZHRK—but that’s not an option here.
