Since others mentioned it, I grabbed my Yujijukugo book, which contains English equivalents, and tried them all (only the ones with 4 words in the English version)
I tried with capitalized first letter, and all lowercase.
I also tried substitute some words with Durtle 
Serious answer, I don’t know what we can do with this.
I don’t even know if Cangjie input is a step, and if it is, if it’s the first step.
I’m following the chinese calendar track right now, based on 乙 and the time indications but I don’t know if I will find something. Many people also mentioned nengo, etc, and since I’m not familiar with it, I’m reading about it.
The Tofugu article about japanese calendars is pretty nice 
On an unrelated note to literally everthing, why do drawings I’m relatively proud of always turn to absolute shit when I try coloring them? Serious question.
Yeah, there’s a good chance it simply isn’t. I just ran with Kanji origins and bumped into an input method that seemed to fit XD If someone puts something forward that seems more plausible, I’d happily work with that, but at the moment this is what we have.
But whatever the method is, I feel the first step is definitely converting the Kanji into True Text, so we can actually work with it. If we look the other way, instead of at the past, perhaps someone could try unicode?
“Unicode” has officially become my trigger word.
I love you for these, thank you. 
I can’t see how thick that book is, but that’s dedication! Thankyou!
It also looks really interesting, I may pick it up.
Two thoughts that are probably irrelevant, but I’ll toss them out in case they help trigger thoughts for others:
There is a yojijukugo involving ascending/descending which describes WaniKani’s mission:
下学上達 - beginning one’s studies with something familiar and gradually increasing the depth of learning
One traditionally separates kanji into six different kinds, or “Six Writings” (六書):
Pictograms: 象形
Simple ideograms: 指事
Compound ideographs: 會意
Phonetic loans: 假借
Phonosemantic compound: 形聲
Derivative cognates: 轉注
I tried different permutations of LMRD in Cangjie input. No hits, sadly.
This info is really helpful.Even if I can’t find a way to use it! Thankyou.
Thanks; I’m learning a lot from it
I liked doing info sheets about kanji in Japanese class this year, but since I probably won’t have any more Japanese classes next year, I’m feeling a bit of an itch 
I included this in the Wiki post, but here are all the Wanikani vocab for each of the B3 clue Kanji. I haven’t had time to go through these with a fine-toothed comb, but I figured I’d drop these in, in case there are hints in the pages/descriptions for these:

Or よう…
It really bugged me that the English dub of this rendered the name of the song as “You & I”, considering the song is about Ui. It’s a pun, see.
You do know there was a year 93, right?
Aye, I confess I’m not overjoyed with this line of reasoning…
Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure there was an article on Tofugu about how terrible Shift-JIS was, but I can’t seem to find it at all now (it was something like “Everything wrong with kanji on the Internet”). I wonder if we need to read the entirety of the knowledge base for hints…
There’s only one true order: Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but rude (gimme a break), Michelangelo is a party dude (par-tay!).
I tried the four seasons: summer, autumn/fall, winter, and spring:
seasons
season
spring summer fall winter
spring summer autumn winter
summer fall winter spring
…
etc etc
I was thinking that since we are given 5 kanji and have to come up with 4 keywords, those keywords would be found between the 5 kanji (4 spaces between the kanji).
So if the 4 keywords are A, B, C, D, then we have to find 4 kanji that would make all of these meaningful:
六A
A乙
乙B
B泣
泣C
C競
競D
D薬
But so far I haven’t found any that fit this pattern.
It’s pretty calm, here 
I’m tired of searching for tonight, so I will just stay around for moral support (or if you need a quick script for something).
What do you think is waiting for us at B4?
The monster. There’s a monster at the end of this book.
Did anyone actually try all combinations of this? 
And we’re setting it free?
I don’t think so. There is a script laying around if you want, at post 2989. I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it works.
It would be a good idea to put that info in the wiki
I don’t know about you, but that’s definitely what I’ll do if we find a monster
