try this:

set [pre set] to []
set [index] to [2]
repeat (length of (variable))
set [pre set] to (join (pre set) (letter (index) of (variable))
change [index] by (1)

end
set [variable] to (pre set)

Why do you need to remove the first letter in order to go to the next object?
To remove the first letter, do this:

// PUT THIS BEFORE YOU DELETE ANYTHING!! \\

set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of [list v] :: list)
add (letter (i) of (VARIABLE)) to [list v]
change [i v] by [1]
end

When i need to delete a letter ::hat grey
delete [1] of [list v]
set [VARIABLE v] to (list ::list)

a bit different aproach https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/398795014/editor/



You can set variable to output at the end
