It is a matter of changing your perspective. As you can see, removing matches from the top and the bottom edges reveals the letter H, and a 90° rotation reveals the letter I, and vice versa.

There is also a way of removing two matches to get three letters.

054 - Answer:

Twilight Sparkle Magic
Rainbow Dash Loyalty
Applejack Honesty
Fluttershy Kindness
Pinkie Pie Laughter
Rarity Generosity

This would have been fairly straightforward, had it not been for the fact that Twilight had to be on the front button. The word MAGIC has fewer letters than any of the other Element names. Surely if a main vowel was valued 2 to the consonant's 1, Twilight would be at the back, right?

Wrong.

This is were you change your way of thinking. Vowels have twice the value of consonants, but nopony said those values had to be positive amounts. If you give vowels a value of -2 and consonants a value of -1, then Twilight will end up at the front with a value of -7. Rarity's Generosity would doubtlessly land her at the back with a value of -15. Fluttershy are fairly easy to place as well, with values of -10 and -11 respectively.

However, Rainbow Dash and Applejack both have Elements with a value of -9 each. For this, we refer to Discord's second rule, that nopony of the same type can be next to each other in the queue. As Fluttershy's fourth place is solidified, the third place slot can't be occupied by Rainbow Dash as they are both pegasi. So she goes second in the queue whilst Applejack take the third place.
