In Otakana the clue reads: Shut-in who chose a goddess as his cheat item

Kazuma dies badly. He shoves a girl out of the path of what he believes is a speeding truck, and it is a slow-moving tractor, and the shock alone kills him. In the afterlife a goddess named Aqua explains that he can reincarnate in a fantasy world with one item or ability of his choosing. He looks at her, decides she is insufferable, and chooses her. She has to come along.
In the new world he is an unremarkable Adventurer, the lowest class, with mediocre stats and a party of specialists who each break in a different direction. He compensates by being the only person present who thinks. He steals, sets traps, argues about money, exploits skill descriptions and wins fights by cheating, which the story treats as the correct response to being surrounded by idiots.
KonoSuba began as a web novel by Natsume Akatsuki in 2012 and the light novels followed from 2013. What makes the show work is that Kazuma is not the noble transported hero the genre had trained everyone to expect. He complains, he sulks, he is repeatedly arrested, and he is still the most competent member of the party.
Spelling KAZUMA
KAZUMA is six letters and the Z is the one worth hunting for. It is rare enough in this game that finding it usually locks the row on the spot. Three even beats, ka-zu-ma, ending on the same A it opens with. The game wants the given name; the family name Satou carries a long vowel that English would trim to Sato anyway.
