"Challenge someone to complete a task" answer

The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

DARE

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 DARE fits

If you've already solved DIRE, change its second letter from I to A. The bottom word, WARE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from DARE only in the first letter, W instead of D.
