Need to find pair of letters in the word each of which has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet.

Given word in the question is: O V E R W H E L M

First left to right:

O _ _ R (the pair OR has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet)

E _ _ H (the pair EH has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet)

L M (the pair EM has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet)

Now from right to left:

R _ _ _ _ M (the pair RM has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet)


Hence, number of such pairs = 4.....so more than three has been marked as an answer...
