Grow #31 — the solution
The tree from October 31, 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 | C E I | ICE |
| 2 | +N | NICE also CINE |
| 3 | +S | SINCE also CINES |
| 4 | +C | SCENIC |
| 5 | +O | CONCISE |
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.
- ICE. The three letters were dealt as C, E, I. No other word fits.
- NICE. Add N: N goes on the front of ICE. CINE is accepted too.
- SINCE. Add S: the letters of NICE have to move. CINES is accepted too.
- SCENIC. Add C: the letters of SINCE have to move. No other word fits.
- CONCISE. Add O: the letters of SCENIC have to move. No other word fits.
