Wahoo's Word

Inspector Wahoo needs help on a particularly tough case. He has run across a tricky coding system where:

The letter A is represented by the number 2¹
The letter B is represented by the number 2²
The letter C is represented by the number 2³
And so forth.

When the values of the letters for a word are added together, it forms a word value.

Inspector Wahoo found a note with the word value 54 scribbled on it. He has also collected a few other clues.

• There are only four letters in the word and no letters repeat
• The value of the first letter (going from left to right) is the second-lowest value of all the letters in the word.
• The value of the second letter is worth more than all the other letters combined.
• The value of the third letter is worth the least of all in the word.

Can you help Inspector Wahoo find the word and decipher the note?
