Grow #39 — the solution

The tree from November 8, 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
1M R ARAM
also ARM, MAR
2+EMARE
also REAM
3+DDREAM
also ARMED, DERMA, MADRE
4+IADMIRE
5+RMARRIED
also ADMIRER, MARDIER

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. RAM. The three letters were dealt as M, R, A. ARM and MAR are accepted too.
  2. MARE. Add E: the letters of RAM have to move. REAM is accepted too.
  3. DREAM. Add D: the letters of MARE have to move. ARMED, DERMA and MADRE are accepted too.
  4. ADMIRE. Add I: the letters of DREAM have to move. No other word fits.
  5. MARRIED. Add R: the letters of ADMIRE have to move. ADMIRER and MARDIER are accepted too.
