Grow #6 — the solution

The tree from October 6, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Fair day.

The words

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.

  1. SPA. The three letters were dealt as A, P, S. ASP, PAS and SAP are accepted too.
  2. PAST. Add T: the letters of SPA have to move. APTS, PATS, SPAT, STAP and TAPS are accepted too.
  3. PARTS. Add R: the letters of PAST have to move. PRATS, SPART, SPRAT, STRAP, TARPS and TRAPS are accepted too.
  4. PASTOR. Add O: the letters of PARTS have to move. ASPORT and PORTAS are accepted too.
  5. PATRONS. Add N: the letters of PASTOR have to move. PARTONS and TARPONS are accepted too.
