Step-by-step solutions

Try the pyramid in the book first. The solutions are hidden: open them one at a time.

Monday (day 1): show the solution
  1. Row 1: the clue is “hello” and there are 4 bricks (the first letter, H, is already printed). The word is HOLA; you met it in week 1, Monday.
  2. Row 2: the clue is “afternoons” and there are 6 bricks (the first letter, T, is already printed). The word is TARDES; you met it in week 1, Thursday.
  3. Row 3: the clue is “I introduce” and there are 8 bricks (the first letter, P, is already printed). The word is PRESENTO; you met it in week 1, Saturday.
  4. Grey bricks from top to bottom: L, E, O → LEO, which means “I read”. It matches the printed check, so every row is right.
Tuesday (day 2): show the solution
  1. Row 1: the clue is “we see” and there are 5 bricks (the first letter, V, is already printed). The word is VEMOS; you met it in week 1, Sunday.
