In this quiz, you are just looking for a ten letter word, each one different. When read backwards, the last four letters spell a word involving movement. Same goes for the first six, if one is removed. In its entirety, it completes this series of related synonyms (from MN)--GEMINI, UNTAMED, and BESERKER. As an extra hint, Jazz can be its enemy, especially when quite alone.
As you can see, I used every letter at least twice, to help hide certain things and make the puzzle harder. The answer, of course, is TIMBERWOLF. The last four letters, when read backwards, spell 'flow'. The first six, when read backwards with the 'b' removed, spell 'remit'. The three words are synonyms for professional sports teams from Minnesota: Twins, Wild, and Vikings. [In my original puzzle, from the early '90s, the Wild were replaced by the North Stars, now the Dallas Stars.] Finally, as a hint about the NBA, I included the Jazz, which is one of the Timberwolves sometimes foes. I hoped you liked this puzzle and code. Expect more when I get a good idea and the time.
Key: First is actual letter, second is the coded letter/s. A=NY, B=Z, C=O, D=I, E=B and V, F=Y, G=M, H=D, I=C, J=S, K=P, L=A, M=R, N=E, O=N, P=T, Q=X, R=LL, S=CH, T=H, U=L, V=J, W=Q, X=G, Y=F, Z=U
I deliberately chose my words to create unusual letter combinations for the message, as an additional hint about the code.
