Grow #35 — the solution
The tree from November 4, 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 | H S A | HAS also AHS, ASH, SHA |
| 2 | +D | DASH also DAHS, HADS, SHAD |
| 3 | +E | HEADS also ASHED, DEASH, HADES, SADHE, SHADE |
| 4 | +T | DEATHS also HASTED, TASHED |
| 5 | +N | HANDSET |
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.
- HAS. The three letters were dealt as H, S, A. AHS, ASH and SHA are accepted too.
- DASH. Add D: the letters of HAS have to move. DAHS, HADS and SHAD are accepted too.
- HEADS. Add E: the letters of DASH have to move. ASHED, DEASH, HADES, SADHE and SHADE are accepted too.
- DEATHS. Add T: the letters of HEADS have to move. HASTED and TASHED are accepted too.
- HANDSET. Add N: the letters of DEATHS have to move. No other word fits.
