How to have a different drop shadow/extrude colour effect like this?

Question

Hi there,I am trying to create the word "WOW" (without the .gg) based on this effect using three colours (not necessarily these colours though):   What would be the best way to do this? I can easily duplicate the letter with a different colour, but can't get it to "join"/extrude if that makes sense? Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

The easiest way would be to use the plugin AG Blockshadow by Astute Graphics. Then expand the result and then use it as a clipping mask or use yet another plugin by them that will let you create hard dradients easily.

There is also a way to cleanly create this using a method I have described here: https://www.vektorgarten.de/long-shadows-with-illustrator.html
