I also wanted to share a few tips if you misplace a letter.  Before tearing your hair out, many of the lowercase letters in Lots of Letters work double duty for another one, and clear stamps make this really easy to modify with your markers or pads.  Simply lay the letter over the edge or corner of the pad so the part you want to omit is not touching, and you will see the letter you want appear when pressed into the ink.  (Be sure you start with a very clean dry stamp first so you don't have any extra ink on the parts you want to omit when you stamp.)  I meant to say and show in the video, but I forgot:  Markers allow you to have a little more precision, if using the pads is difficult for you, as well as allowing you to omit the inside of a letter and make an e into a c, (but don't try that with a pad) 

Below are my suggestions for letters that can be made when you omit part of one of the letters following the "=".  
a=  d, b, g (which are the same as p and q)
c=d
n= m, h
i= j, !
l=k or 1
o= a, b,d
n= m, h 
r= n, m, h 
t=f
u=n (inverted)
v= w, y
w= v (stamped twice)
