Answer 2

Try breaking word in css. If you need more spacing and your words are breaking each 2 or more letters use letter-spacing or just padding.

CSS:

.wrapper {
   position: fixed;
   background-color: green;
   top: 30px;
   left: 0;
   width: 20px;
   border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0;
   color: white;
   font-size: 13px;
   padding: 5px;
   word-wrap: break-word;
}

HTML:

<div class="wrapper">
    HELP
</div>
