Grow #33 — the solution

The tree from November 2, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Fair day.

The words

2+TNUTS

3+OSNOUT

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.

  1. SUN. The three letters were dealt as S, N, U. NUS and UNS are accepted too.
  2. NUTS. Add T: the letters of SUN have to move. STUN and TUNS are accepted too.
  3. SNOUT. Add O: the letters of NUTS have to move. NUTSO, STOUN, TONUS and TOUNS are accepted too.
  4. COUNTS. Add C: the letters of SNOUT have to move. No other word fits.
  5. CONSULT. Add L: the letters of COUNTS have to move. UNCOLTS is accepted too.
