Grow #43 — the solution
The tree from November 12, 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 | I P S | SIP also PIS, PSI |
| 2 | +G | PIGS also GIPS |
| 3 | +R | GRIPS also PRIGS, SPRIG |
| 4 | +N | SPRING |
| 5 | +A | PARSING also PARINGS, RASPING, SPARING |
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.
- SIP. The three letters were dealt as I, P, S. PIS and PSI are accepted too.
- PIGS. Add G: the letters of SIP have to move. GIPS is accepted too.
- GRIPS. Add R: the letters of PIGS have to move. PRIGS and SPRIG are accepted too.
- SPRING. Add N: the letters of GRIPS have to move. No other word fits.
- PARSING. Add A: the letters of SPRING have to move. PARINGS, RASPING and SPARING are accepted too.
