The first letter in each group is obtained by adding five letters to the first letter of the previous group.

W + 5 = B, B + 5 = G, G + 5 = L, L + 5 = Q, Q + 5 = V

The second letter in each group is opposite to the first letter of that group according to their positional value.

W ↔ D, B ↔ Y, G ↔ T, L ↔ O, Q ↔ J, V ↔ E

The numbers in in each group are obtained by adding two and its multiple at each step respectively.

4 + 2 = 6, 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 6 = 16, 16 + 8 = 24, 24 + 10 = 34
