Lovely! One thing though—the original problem stated that: "Each row
is a successive scramble of the character string above it with one
added symbol"; your [Dan's] 'gw' seems to deal each row independently:
gw 'many'
m
n m
n a y <-- no 'm'
a y n m
gw 'cherrytrees'
t
r e <-- no 't'
e r e
r e e y
t e c h e <-- no 'r', 'y', etc.
r r r e h e
e e c s t r h
r s h e r y c t
e s e y c r e r r
s h c e r e r r e y
s c e r r e r h e y t
Best,
M
