A note regarding acceptable words:

As examples , æons, is a English word found in some English dictionaries. The letter æ (ash), in modern English is often treated as an ae ligature, and when transliterated is replaced by ae or, simply, with e. The word æons would be acceptable as a 5-letter ROLO word in the form aeons, or as a 4-letter word in the form eons, both variant spellings found in the dictionaries.

The word façade is also found in English dictionaries. The letter ç (c-cedilla) was a cz ligature and is often transliterated in English as a c, giving the word facade. Facade is another spelling of the word façade permitting it as an acceptable 6-letter ROLO word in the sans diacritical form.

A-1 is also found as a word in several English dictionaries. It is one of the words that uses a number as part of its form. Transliterated it would be A-one, yet it would still be hyphenated, thus it would remain unacceptable as a ROLO word, even in its transliterated form. As an additional note regarding the word A-one, one might note that it is capitalized. Words that begin with a capital letter, I have assumed, can be valid as long as the word itself is not a proper noun.

The word Kopi might be listed in the Merriam-Webster, unabridged, but it is not in the non-pay version. It is not in the online Oxford dictionary.

In Wiktionary, kopi is an Indonesian, Malay, and Tok Pisan word for coffee, a Danish word for copy,a Ngarridjeri word for nose, and a Swahili word for pulley. It is not listed as an English word or an adopted word into English.

The FreeDictionary does reference, but does not list Kopi as an alternate name for the Karaka tree (Corynocarpus laevigatus), and a look-up in Wikipedia indicates that the name is neither English or even an adopted word in New Zealand, but a word in the Maoriori language in the Chatham Islands for the tree.

Thus Kopi would be considered an unacceptable guess.
