Grow #2 — the solution
The tree from October 2, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Fair day.
The words
| Row | Letters | The word, and what else the row accepts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S D O | SOD also DOS, DSO, ODS |
| 2 | +E | DOES also DOSE, ODES |
| 3 | +C | CODES also COEDS, COSED, DECOS |
| 4 | +R | SCORED also CODERS, CREDOS, DECORS |
| 5 | +S | CROSSED also SCORSED |
Row by row
Any real word of a row’s letters counts, so the word in bold is only the one the Hint spells — the commonest. Each step below is read from that word to the next.
- SOD. The three letters were dealt as S, D, O. DOS, DSO and ODS are accepted too.
- DOES. Add E: the letters of SOD have to move. DOSE and ODES are accepted too.
- CODES. Add C: the letters of DOES have to move. COEDS, COSED and DECOS are accepted too.
- SCORED. Add R: the letters of CODES have to move. CODERS, CREDOS and DECORS are accepted too.
- CROSSED. Add S: the letters of SCORED have to move. SCORSED is accepted too.
