"Cut, like a well-manicured lawn" answer

The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:

MOWN

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 MOWN fits

If you've already solved MOON, change its third letter from O to W. The bottom word, DOWN, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from MOWN only in the first letter, D instead of M.
