"Toy on a string that’s brought out on a windy day" answer

The answer for Tuesday's puzzle is:

KITE

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 KITE fits

If you've already solved KATE, change its second letter from A to I. The bottom word, SITE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from KITE only in the first letter, S instead of K.
