Grow #24 — the solution
The tree from October 24, 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 O | TOO also OOT |
| 2 | +R | ROOT also ROTO, TORO |
| 3 | +P | TROOP also POORT |
| 4 | +N | PROTON also PRONTO |
| 5 | +I | PORTION |
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.
- TOO. The three letters were dealt as O, T, O. OOT is accepted too.
- ROOT. Add R: the letters of TOO have to move. ROTO and TORO are accepted too.
- TROOP. Add P: the letters of ROOT have to move. POORT is accepted too.
- PROTON. Add N: the letters of TROOP have to move. PRONTO is accepted too.
- PORTION. Add I: the letters of PROTON have to move. No other word fits.
