Q If AGMOLIE means LEOPARD in a certain code, what are the animals listed below?
  1. EMX
  2. QLN
  3. FLTZNGI
  4. XRILWWG
  5. WALTRSXM

A
  1. DOG
  2. CAT
  3. HAMSTER
  4. GIRAFFE
  5. FLAMINGO
ARMS, XMIRAAL, MZNIRQF

Make a chart with all the letters of the alphabet in one column. Those will be the code letters. From the code spelling of LEOPARD, fill in the correct letters for all the code letters you can. Then start figuring out the other code animals in order, filling in more letters on the chart as you go along. (You may have to do a little guessing.)

By the time you get to WALTRSXM (FLAMINGO), you'll have every letter you need. Then simply use your chart to write the additional three animal names in the same code.
