Grow #20 — the solution
The tree from October 20, 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 | D R I | RID |
| 2 | +N | RIND |
| 3 | +G | GRIND |
| 4 | +I | RIDING |
| 5 | +V | DRIVING |
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.
- RID. The three letters were dealt as D, R, I. No other word fits.
- RIND. Add N: N slots into RID, between I and D. No other word fits.
- GRIND. Add G: G goes on the front of RIND. No other word fits.
- RIDING. Add I: the letters of GRIND have to move. No other word fits.
- DRIVING. Add V: the letters of RIDING have to move. No other word fits.
