"Stories passed down between generations that may or may not be true" answer
The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:
LORE
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 LORE fits
If you've already solved LOVE, change its third letter from V to R. Coming from FORE instead, swap its first letter, F, for an L. Either way, you end up at LORE.
