Creating a new StringBuffer in a loop will obviously erase all previous content. (by the way, you may prefer using StringBuilder).

Just in case, when I said that you may prefer using StringBuilder, I didn't mean that this would fix your problem. Creating a new StringBuilder in a loop will still erase all previous content.

StringBuffer and StringBuilder have the same methods with one difference and that’s of synchronization. StringBuffer is synchronized( which means it is thread safe and hence you can use it when you implement threads for your methods) whereas StringBuilder is not synchronized( which implies it isn’t thread safe).
So, if you aren’t going to use threading then use the StringBuilder class as it’ll be more efficient than StringBuffer due to the absence of synchronization.

As per the issue, if you had instantiated StringBuffer onject before while loop, you code would have generated the desired output

Put your all words in one ArrayList.
Then Iterate that array list one by one.

The logic is:

First time append the one word into the StringBuffer or StringBuilder (Whatever you use)
Second time append the two words
Third time append the three words and so on....
