"Amphibian creature similar to a frog" answer
The answer for Monday's puzzle is:
TOAD
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 TOAD fits
If you've already solved TOLD, change its third letter from L to A. The bottom word, ROAD, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from TOAD only in the first letter, R instead of T.
