"Happening in the near future" answer
The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:
SOON
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 SOON fits
If you've already solved SOOT, change its fourth letter from T to N. Coming from MOON instead, swap its first letter, M, for an S. Either way, you end up at SOON.
