The letters of the alphabet are assigned numeric values based on two conditions:

$\bullet$ Numeric values used are $-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3$.

$\bullet$ Starting with A through Z, a numeric value is assigned to each letter according to this pattern:
$$
1, 2, 3, 0, -1, -2, -3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, -1, -2, -3, 0, \ldots
