how to handle the grid [Tk]

I created a grid that contains five labels each label in a row but I want in each row has the same size of previous label least size of one colone

code :

label .f0 -text "frame 0"\
    -relief groove \
    -borderwidth 2 \
    -background blue
label .f1 -text "frame 1" \
    -relief groove \
    -borderwidth 2 \
    -background gray
label .f2 -text "frame 2" \
    -relief groove \
    -borderwidth 2 \
    -background green
label .f3 -text "frame 3" \
    -relief groove \
    -borderwidth 2 \
    -background yellow
label .f4  -text "frame 4"\
    -relief groove \
    -borderwidth 2 \
    -background red

grid .f0 -row 1 -column 1 -sticky ewns
grid .f1 -row 2 -column 2 -sticky ewns
grid .f2 -row 3 -column 3 -sticky ewns
grid .f3 -row 4 -column 4 -sticky ew
grid .f4 -row 5 -column 5 -sticky ew

You can use the -columnspan option to grid to specify how many columns to use:

  grid .f0 -row 1 -column 1 -sticky ewns -columnspan 5

References: grid

Edit:

foreach i {0 1 2 3 4} {
  grid columnconfigure . $i -weight 1 -uniform labcol
  grid .f$i -column $i -sticky ew -columnspan [expr {5-$i}]
}

This is similar to Peter's setting of minsize. It makes all the columns the same width.

(2nd try) Add this after your code as in the question:

foreach index {1 2 3 4 5} {
    grid columnconfigure . $index -minsize [winfo width .f0]
}

grid configure .f0 -columnspan 5
grid configure .f1 -columnspan 4
grid configure .f2 -columnspan 3
grid configure .f3 -columnspan 2

Documentation: foreach, grid, winfo
