"As it happens, like a news event being broadcast" answer

The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

LIVE

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 LIVE fits

If you've already solved LOVE, change its second letter from O to I. The top word, FIVE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from LIVE only in the first letter, F instead of L.
