Stuck on room-escapey game

Unravel

The developer, rin/rinnogogo, indicates that this game is a departure from their earlier work. Everyone seems to agree because a rinnogogo game was usually good for dozens of puzzles across various locations which could all be solved in a day or two, while the whole world is stuck in the first (only?) room of this one, released three weeks ago, with only three puzzles.

Puzzle 2 is not that bad and I got it on my own. Others figured out the more challenging puzzle 3, which I won't spoil but should crop up in the first page of search results.

Puzzle 1, though, the 4-letter word you're supposed to key into the laptop, is the doozy. The most significant thing I've found is that:

When I'm on the screen where I'm to enter the word and pull up the item I got from puzzle 3, there's text peeking out of both sides. When I have google translate it, it says the left-hand-side says "That's a big deal" and the right says "Tanaue Tani"

Anyone?
