"Struggling to decide between two choices" answer

The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

TORN

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 TORN fits

If you've already solved MORN, change its first letter from M to T. The top word, TURN, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from TORN only in the second letter, U instead of O.
