take CHASE-1

CHOSE-1 means the A->O didn't drop the 1, so the third letter isnt A or O

PHASE-1 means that C->P changed nothing, hence first letter isnt C or P

MOVIE-0 means last letter isn't E

leaving H and S (from CHASE & PHASE & CHOSE): *H*S*

now PISSY shares the initial 'IS' with AISLE which got 0, and we know the first letter isn't C or P, leaving ***SY

so we have *H*S* and ***SY

with PROSE, we already know it's not the P, and the OSE is shared with CHOSE, whose C is also not it, hence the only change from CHOSE to PROSE is actually the H->R in the second letter, which did not cause a drop in number. Hence the second letter is not H or R

first letter: not C or P

second letter: not H or R

third letter: not A or O

fifth letter: not E

so with the H struck out of *H*S*, it means that we've got ***S*, then this also satisfies the ***SY from PISSY, leaving ***S*

SO:

FOURTH LETTER = S
