"Makes a wager in a casino" answer

The answer for Monday's puzzle is:

BETS

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 BETS fits

If you've already solved BITS, change its second letter from I to E. The bottom word, BEDS, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from BETS only in the third letter, D instead of T.
