Grow #15 — the solution
The tree from October 15, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Mean day.
The words
| Row | Letters | The word, and what else the row accepts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | O T A | OAT also TAO |
| 2 | +B | BOAT also BOTA |
| 3 | +N | BATON |
| 4 | +Y | BOTANY |
| 5 | +L | NOTABLY |
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.
- OAT. The three letters were dealt as O, T, A. TAO is accepted too.
- BOAT. Add B: B goes on the front of OAT. BOTA is accepted too.
- BATON. Add N: the letters of BOAT have to move. No other word fits.
- BOTANY. Add Y: the letters of BATON have to move. No other word fits.
- NOTABLY. Add L: the letters of BOTANY have to move. No other word fits.
