"Large barrel-shaped container for wine or other liquids" answer

The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

CASK

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 CASK fits

If you've already solved MASK, change its first letter from M to C. The top word, CASE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from CASK only in the fourth letter, E instead of K.
