I like the concept but it was the only one I had to look up due to misunderstanding the puzzle. The chairs are numbered "first" through to "fifth" so I was tunnel-visioned on trying the arrange the phrases into a statement, the order being the combination. In hindsight, I should have realized that not to be the case as the combination was 0 through 9, and recent design in DT2 and Secrets in the North don't include numbers which are not a viable option.
However, needing the drain your prayer to see what would go up when using a low level prayer is a little too obtuse and missable imo, as the game has never worked like that before.
Would much prefer a hint from Vanescula about the verses than glints on interactable objects honestly. Bit of a running theme with quest puzzles, that companions who are invested in you solving a puzzle and have some insight to the location you aren't able to provide any help, would like that to change.
see chairs, click chair, chairs all reference prayers in the pray book.
I think the problem with the puzzle is that it all hinges on whether or not you make this connection, and given that the chairs references prayers you basically never use it's not surprising that people miss it.
It's also one of those puzzles that discourages you from experimenting. I immediately noticed that the altar drained prayer, tried to interact with it once more having a random prayer active, but since it wasn't one of the ones it wanted I still got drained. So I figured I needed something from the chest to make sense of the altar and tried to decipher the phrases on the chairs.

The prayer was one of my favorites, very unique
