"Persist over time" answer

The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:

LAST

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 LAST fits

If you've already solved CAST, change its first letter from C to L. The top word, LOST, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from LAST only in the second letter, O instead of A.
