Grow #22 — the solution
The tree from October 22, 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 | I N G | GIN |
| 2 | +A | GAIN also AGIN |
| 3 | +T | GIANT also NGATI, TANGI |
| 4 | +K | TAKING |
| 5 | +L | TALKING |
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.
- GIN. The three letters were dealt as I, N, G. No other word fits.
- GAIN. Add A: A slots into GIN, between G and I. AGIN is accepted too.
- GIANT. Add T: the letters of GAIN have to move. NGATI and TANGI are accepted too.
- TAKING. Add K: the letters of GIANT have to move. No other word fits.
- TALKING. Add L: L slots into TAKING, between A and K. No other word fits.
