MARK

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 MARK fits

This one is a fill-in-the-blank. With MARK in the gap, you get "You're way off the MARK”."

If you've already solved MASK, change its third letter from S to R. Coming from PARK instead, swap its first letter, P, for an M. Either way, you end up at MARK.
