How many such pairs of letters are there in the word FOREIGN each of which has as many letters between them in the word as they have in the English alphabet?

Answer 1

The answer is three.

1. g, and the second a. (5 letters between them, in the word and in the alphabet)
2. g, n. (6 letters between them, in the word and in the alphabet)
3. r, n. (3 letters between them, in the word and in the alphabet)

Answer 2

Two pairs, by my count.

D and E are consecutive in the English alphabet and in the word shoulder.

D and H are separated by 3 letters in both the English alphabet and the word shoulder.
