"Plunged" answer

The answer for Tuesday's puzzle is:

FELL

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 FELL fits

If you've already solved FELT, change its fourth letter from T to L. The top word, WELL, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FELL only in the first letter, W instead of F.
