Maybe we should start with having them in order and then add the 4th later if it still feels too easy.

Yeah, I’ll give ordered-three a go. Ordered-four might be too hard.
Also, heads-up to Haze, English was already had two posts ago – see Rule 4 (but it’s fine).
liryk (lyric, lyricist, lyrist) – Polish [r y k]
Interesting that Polish switched the French y-i order (lyrique) around, which was the ancestral form coming from Latin lyricus. It originally meant “of / about a lyre (lyra)”.

oh sorry. I just payed attention that you had to respond to the one right before it and use certain letters.
Ordered-four might be completely impossible for most letter combinations for some languages such as Chinese or Japanese. Japanese might be a bit better because the words can be pretty long, but for Chinese you’d probably have to be creative and include chengyu.
I think I’ll hold off on my language cycling for now (this round was supposed to be English for me). I’d like to see how ordered three goes first.
