You should have ended up with something like this

One syllable	Two syllables	Three syllables
grow own	Follow = fol-low rainbow = rain-bow window = win-dow swallow = swal-low barrow = bar-row hollow = hol-low sparrow = spar-row elbow = el-bow burrow = bur-row shadow = sha-dow shallow = shal-low mower = mo-wer	Following = fol-low-ing tomorrow = to-mor-row borrowing = bor-row-ing
