Grow #28 — the solution
The tree from October 28, 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 | O T A | OAT also TAO |
| 2 | +C | COAT also ATOC, OCTA, TACO |
| 3 | +R | ACTOR also TAROC |
| 4 | +R | CARROT also TROCAR |
| 5 | +E | CREATOR also ACROTER, REACTOR |
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.
- OAT. The three letters were dealt as O, T, A. TAO is accepted too.
- COAT. Add C: C goes on the front of OAT. ATOC, OCTA and TACO are accepted too.
- ACTOR. Add R: the letters of COAT have to move. TAROC is accepted too.
- CARROT. Add R: the letters of ACTOR have to move. TROCAR is accepted too.
- CREATOR. Add E: the letters of CARROT have to move. ACROTER and REACTOR are accepted too.
