The original upright piece is the small (pawn). So a hop with the small onto the medium (drone), then a hop with the pair onto the large (queen) works. However, a tip and three aims of your own pieces will not get a tree to match the house, because they will not be in the right order. As an alternative to HOP/HOP/AIM/AIM, you can match the house with four moves of SWAP, TIP, AIM, and (either AIM or DIG). If the SWAP is first, the TIP must be second. If the SWAP is not first, the TIP must be first. Otherwise, they can be done in any order. If you do the AIM/DIG before the SWAP, you can use HOP instead of SWAP. SWAP: Small and Medium TIP: All three pieces AIM: Large AIM/DIG: Small (HOP: Small in between the other two)
