Fourth letter after C is G. Fourth letter after A is E. Fourth letter after L is P. Fourth letter after U is Y. Fourth letter after T is X. So, in the case of FSQFCE, each letter has to go 4 letters before to be the original word. Fourth letter before F is B. Fourth letter before S is O. Fourth letter before Q is M. Fourth letter before C is ??? Let's find. Position number of C is 3. So the position number of fourth letter before C becomes 3 - 4 = -1. As there's no -1st letter, this -1 is added from the total no. of letters, i.e., 26, so that 26 - 1 = 25. 25th letter is Y. Therefore, fourth letter before C is Y. Fourth letter before E is A.
