Grow #36 — the solution

The tree from November 5, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Fair day.

The words

RowLettersThe word, and what else the row accepts
1A G GGAG
2+NGANG
3+IAGING
4+RRAGING
also GRINGA
5+NRANGING

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. GAG. The three letters were dealt as A, G, G. No other word fits.
  2. GANG. Add N: N slots into GAG, between A and G. No other word fits.
  3. AGING. Add I: the letters of GANG have to move. No other word fits.
  4. RAGING. Add R: R goes on the front of AGING. GRINGA is accepted too.
  5. RANGING. Add N: N slots into RAGING, between A and G. No other word fits.
