• 1st letter: G (7) $\rightarrow$ E (5) $\rightarrow$ C (3) $\rightarrow$ A (1) $\rightarrow$ Y (25)

• 2nd letter: J (10) $\rightarrow$ H (8) $\rightarrow$ F (6) $\rightarrow$ D (4) $\rightarrow$ B (2)

• 3rd letter: E (5) $\rightarrow$ C (3) $\rightarrow$ A (1) $\rightarrow$ Y (25) $\rightarrow$ W (23)

• 4th letter: Z (26) $\rightarrow$ X (24) $\rightarrow$ V (22) $\rightarrow$ T (20) $\rightarrow$ R (18)
