The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

FORD

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 FORD fits

If you've already solved FORE, change its fourth letter from E to D. The bottom word, FOLD, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FORD only in the third letter, L instead of R.
