Grow #29 — the solution
The tree from October 29, 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 | S S I | SIS |
| 2 | +K | KISS also SKIS |
| 3 | +R | RISKS |
| 4 | +T | SKIRTS also STIRKS |
| 5 | +E | STRIKES |
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.
- SIS. The three letters were dealt as S, S, I. No other word fits.
- KISS. Add K: the letters of SIS have to move. SKIS is accepted too.
- RISKS. Add R: the letters of KISS have to move. No other word fits.
- SKIRTS. Add T: the letters of RISKS have to move. STIRKS is accepted too.
- STRIKES. Add E: the letters of SKIRTS have to move. No other word fits.
