"What a superhero wears to protect their other identity" answer
The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:
MASK
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 MASK fits
If you've already solved CASK, change its first letter from C to M. Coming from MARK instead, swap its third letter, R, for an S. Either way, you end up at MASK.
