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. SEA. The three letters were dealt as E, S, A. EAS and SAE are accepted too.
  2. EARS. Add R: the letters of SEA have to move. ARES, ERAS, RASE, SEAR and SERA are accepted too.
  3. RAISE. Add I: the letters of EARS have to move. AESIR, ARISE and SERAI are accepted too.
  4. ARMIES. Add M: the letters of RAISE have to move. AIMERS, MAIRES, MARIES, RAMIES, SAMIER and SARMIE are accepted too.
