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.
- SIR. The three letters were dealt as I, R, S. SRI is accepted too.
- RISE. Add E: the letters of SIR have to move. IRES, REIS, SEIR and SIRE are accepted too.
- TRIES. Add T: the letters of RISE have to move. REIST, RESIT, RITES, STIRE, TIERS and TIRES are accepted too.
- INSERT. Add N: the letters of TRIES have to move. ESTRIN, INERTS, INTERS, NITERS, NITRES, SINTER, TRIENS and TRINES are accepted too.
- ENTRIES. Add E: the letters of INSERT have to move. ENTIRES, NERITES, RETINES, TRENISE and TRIENES are accepted too.
