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,
