Grow #7 — the solution
The tree from October 7, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Gentle day.
The words
| Row | Letters | The word, and what else the row accepts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | L A I | AIL |
| 2 | +T | TAIL also ALIT, LATI, TALI |
| 3 | +R | TRIAL also LIART, TRAIL |
| 4 | +U | RITUAL |
| 5 | +V | VIRTUAL also VITULAR |
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.
- AIL. The three letters were dealt as L, A, I. No other word fits.
- TAIL. Add T: T goes on the front of AIL. ALIT, LATI and TALI are accepted too.
- TRIAL. Add R: the letters of TAIL have to move. LIART and TRAIL are accepted too.
- RITUAL. Add U: the letters of TRIAL have to move. No other word fits.
- VIRTUAL. Add V: the letters of RITUAL have to move. VITULAR is accepted too.
