"Hammerhead or great white, for example" answer

The answer for Saturday's puzzle is:

SHARK

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 SHARK fits

If you've already solved SPARK, change its second letter from P to H. The bottom word, SHARP, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from SHARK only in the fifth letter, P instead of K.
