Why won't the tree grow in Brain Test 5 Level 7?

The most common cause is leaving the rain cloud parked over the seedling after watering. Move the cloud off screen to let the sun shine on the seedling — the tree only grows once both water and sunlight are provided in that order.

What do I do with the dog in Brain Test 5 Level 7?

Nothing — the dog is decorative and does not interact with any part of the puzzle. Ignore it and focus on the shovel, the soil, the seed, and the cloud.

Brain Test 5 Level 7 grows an apple tree from scratch — dig a hole with the shovel, plant the seed in the soil, then rain on it with the cloud and let the sun finish the growth.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 7 opens in a paved courtyard with a gray stone surface, a wooden bench, and a friendly dog sitting nearby. A shovel rests against the fence on the right side of the board.
Goal: Three ordered steps grow a full apple tree. First dig the hole, then plant the seed, then water and sun the seedling. The level only completes once all three growing conditions are met in the correct sequence.
Opening: Drag the shovel from the fence over the gray paved surface to dig a hole, turning the stone area into exposed brown soil. Then drag the apple seed into the hole. Finally, drag the rain cloud over the hole to water it, then drag the cloud away to let the sun complete the tree's growth.
Danger Zone: Using the shovel on the dog or bench does nothing. In Part 3, the cloud must be moved away from the growing seedling after watering — leaving the cloud parked over the seedling blocks the sun and prevents the tree from reaching full growth.
Mechanics: Level 7 is a sequential creation puzzle rather than a problem-solving puzzle. The dog and bench are set decoration only. The key mechanic introduced here is water-before-sun ordering, which the game will repeat in later nature-based puzzles.

Quick Tips for Brain Test 5 Level 7 (spoiler-free)

The dog is friendly set dressing — tapping or using the shovel on it does nothing useful. Focus on the gray pavement area.
After the cloud rains on the seedling, drag the cloud completely off screen before expecting the sun to finish the growth.
All three steps must be done in order. Trying to place the sun first or plant before digging will not advance the level.

How to Solve Brain Test 5 Level 7 — Full Solution

Part 1 — "Dig a hole to plant a tree": drag the shovel from the fence over the gray paved surface and use it to dig. A hole with brown soil appears.
Part 2 — "Plant an apple seed in the soil": drag the apple seed into the brown soil hole.
Part 3 — "Provide water, then sun to the tree": drag the cloud over the hole to trigger rain and water the seedling.
After watering, drag the cloud away from the seedling to reveal the sun.
The seedling grows into a full apple tree and the level ends.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Leaving the cloud over the seedling after watering — the cloud blocks the sun and the tree cannot finish growing.
Trying to dig or plant without first selecting the shovel — tapping the ground bare-handed does nothing.
