Build the well box

Lay the teal square down for the water, then stand a blue square up on each of its four edges so they click into a box.

The trick

The roof never touches the well: two side walls carry it a full course above the rim, and the two end triangles are what lock the sloping panels so they cannot slide apart.

What you will need

  • 9 square tiles
  • 2 triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Build the well box

    Lay the teal square down for the water, then stand a blue square up on each of its four edges so they click into a box.

  2. 2. Stand the two posts

    On the left and right walls only, stand one orange square up on top of each, and leave the front and back open so you can look down the well.

  3. 3. Lean the roof panels

    Rest two red squares on the posts and tip their top edges together until they meet in a peak.

  4. 4. Close the ends

    Slot a red triangle into each open end under the peak, and feel it grab both posts and both roof panels at once.
