"Young male horse" answer

The answer for Saturday's puzzle is:

COLT

The rest of the ladder at the top of the page stays hidden until you tap a rung, so you can check this word without giving away the others.

Why COLT fits

If you've already solved COLD, change its fourth letter from D to T. The bottom word, COAT, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from COLT only in the third letter, A instead of L.
