Grow #41 — the solution
The tree from November 10, 2026: five rows, three letters to seven, each row the one before plus one letter — a Fair day.
The words
| Row | Letters | The word, and what else the row accepts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | T S I | ITS also SIT, TIS |
| 2 | +E | SITE also STIE, TIES |
| 3 | +C | CITES also CESTI, TICES |
| 4 | +H | ETHICS also ITCHES, THEICS, TICHES |
| 5 | +M | CHEMIST also MITCHES |
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.
- ITS. The three letters were dealt as T, S, I. SIT and TIS are accepted too.
- SITE. Add E: the letters of ITS have to move. STIE and TIES are accepted too.
- CITES. Add C: the letters of SITE have to move. CESTI and TICES are accepted too.
- ETHICS. Add H: the letters of CITES have to move. ITCHES, THEICS and TICHES are accepted too.
- CHEMIST. Add M: the letters of ETHICS have to move. MITCHES is accepted too.
