perplexus.info :: General : Squares in a Triangle

Squares in a Triangle (Posted on 2012-08-01)

Using the relationship [A=1, B=2,..... Z=26] provide a word for each tier of the triangle such that:
1. The letter sum per tier is the largest square possible.
2. The letter sum per tier is the smallest square possible.

While being squares neither SEA = 25 nor OAT = 36 are appropriate for tier three in either of the tasks #1 or #2 above.

Are you able to extend either triangle beyond 6 tiers?

The following are my solutions from my development:
Largest
I
PI
STY
TEST
WROTE
PUTTER

Smallest
A
PI
ACE
FADE
CHASE
DEBASE

...... but clearly there are solutions at certain levels that are better, and surprisingly just how far that triangle can be extended - see Charlie's offer in particular.
