Hm, sorry for the confusion but yes you misunderstood.

When you got the yellow E, there was an E somewhere in the word but not where you guessed. Then that E was replaced with an I.

If helpful, here's what I think the words were at each step (I'm just tracing backwards with the clues so there is some guessing for step 1).

1. CAUSES

2. CASES

3. BASES

4. BASIS

5. BASICS
