Grow #23 — the solution
The tree from October 23, 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 | R T A | ART also RAT, TAR |
| 2 | +D | DART also DRAT, TRAD |
| 3 | +E | TRADE also DATER, DERAT, RATED, TARED, TREAD |
| 4 | +H | THREAD also DEARTH, HATRED |
| 5 | +B | BREADTH |
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.
- ART. The three letters were dealt as R, T, A. RAT and TAR are accepted too.
- DART. Add D: D goes on the front of ART. DRAT and TRAD are accepted too.
- TRADE. Add E: the letters of DART have to move. DATER, DERAT, RATED, TARED and TREAD are accepted too.
- THREAD. Add H: the letters of TRADE have to move. DEARTH and HATRED are accepted too.
- BREADTH. Add B: the letters of THREAD have to move. No other word fits.
