Best Answer

If you get a bit creative, you will be able to make the word HAT using 5 toothpicks. If you make the 'H' skinny using 3TP and have the horizontal TP extend out towards the right. Then use 1TP to lay at an angle connecting to the second leg of the 'H' and crossing the horizontal TP leaving a bit extended to form the 'A'. The use 1TP to connect to the extended horizontal toothpick to form the 'T". 3 +1 +1 = 5 toothpicks to make the word HAT. However, if you want to do it the simple way, you'll need 8.

How many toothpicks do you need to spell FAT without crossing each other?

The answer is 8 if no toothpicks can cross and each letter is separate: 3 make the F, 3 the A, 2 the T. It could be 5 if the letters are combined together as a single shape (like a block A, with a possible 5th toothpick from the center down). This is a variation of the standard riddle, which usually just excludes breaking and bending. (see related question)
