"Where Scrabble tiles may sit before they're played" answer

The answer for Saturday's puzzle is:

RACK

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 RACK fits

If you've already solved RANK, change its third letter from N to C. The bottom word, RACE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from RACK only in the fourth letter, E instead of K.
