And the code for all the consonants is '♦'

4) Firstly word according to the English alphabetical order is taken and coded according to the given condition and put this coded word in to the first position. In the same step smallest number is selected and its equivalent sum of the digit is written in the right most end. Similarly in the next step second word according to the English alphabetical order is taken and coded according to the given condition and put this coded word in to the second position from the left and number first position from the right and so on. After arranging all the numbers and words in the last step code for word that comes first in English alphabetical order and and smallest number combination is arranged from left to right.
