Hi! Here my solution 🙂

How to do it as a Beginner?

I first thought of a transpose of all individual characters and use Multi-Row - So applied the same, check if the current character follows previous one in order, if yes increment the length and then a simple substring

 

Quite proud of my solution! 😄

Nice and neat. Use of the tile to get the sequence and CharToInt in order to not need a lookup table

Interesting Challenge.
Had to read up on the Multi-Row formula tool a bit more.
