The trick

Leave the two middle squares out above and below the crossbar and the letter's holes appear on their own, then four triangles climb from the shoulders to one shared point to close the peak.

What you will need

  • 10 square tiles
  • 4 right-angle triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Stand the legs

    Set two green squares apart for the feet, bridge them with a full row of four squares for the crossbar, then add one square above each foot for the shoulders.

  2. 2. Close the peak

    Fill the top with two squares between the shoulders, cap each outer shoulder with a triangle, then lean two more triangles together into the point.
