With two I make someone quiet,
With three I'm an algorithm,
With four I'm fake,
With all five I'm dishonor.

Inspired by this.

  • Ah dammit. I tend to ignore the accepted answers because sometimes there is more than one answer... but it turns out I came to the same result as the accepted answer, anyway. I'll try to find an alternative answer. I have to wait $10$ hours before I can upvote (damn daily voting limit), so I'll favourite :D $\color{darkorange}{\bigstar}$ – Mr Pie Aug 22 '18 at 13:31

    Fun to see these popping up once and a while :) – tyobrien Aug 22 '18 at 17:34
  • Well, I found an alternative, but I don't think it is worthy of an answer. My alternative is $\ast$ (ROT13) ABARG, jurer gur rkcynangvbaf ner boivbhf rkprcg sbe gur ABA cneg (gung pbhyq ersre gb guvf) naq gur ABARG cneg (abarg $\to$ avar $\to$ "arva" juvpu vf Nqbys Uvgyre'f pngpu cuenfr). ABARG, jurer gur rkcynangvbaf ner boivbhf rkprcg sbe gur ABA cneg (gung pbhyq ersre gb guvf) naq gur ABARG cneg (abarg → avar → "arva" juvpu vf Nqbys Uvgyre'f pngpu cuenfr). Nyfb, gur dhrfgvba "jul abg" zvtug freir n uvag, nf gur jbeq ABARG vf fvzvyne gb ABG. $\ast$ I really enjoyed this puzzle, though! :D – Mr Pie Aug 23 '18 at 01:33
