Did you know that the mango is one of the world's most popular fruits? The mango is grown in North, South and Central America, the Caribbean, south and central Africa, as well as its native southern and south-east Asia.

The mango is also packed with vitamins A, B and C.

While eating a mango the other day, I started thinking about the ABC's. Then I remembered the set of 5-sided alphabet pyramids I had as a child.

Here are some 5-letter words that can be spelled with just 5 of my pyramids:

BELOW
CANDY
FORTY
HELIX
JABOT
LEMON
LIGHT
MANGO
OCHRE
PEACH
QUEST
QUICK
VIEUX

Using these words, can you figure out which letters appear on each pyramid?

I really enjoyed this puzzle! Just one question, where's the "Z"? :D

ThinksForFun, the alphabet has 26 letters. There are 5 pyramids with 5 letters each, meaning that 25 letters were used. That means one letter is left out, which is "z."

That was fun!! I didn't rate the highest difficulty because I didn't want to scare others off from trying it. Thanks so much for making it :)
