"Have a strong desire for something that belongs to someone else" answer

The answer for Sunday's puzzle is:

COVET

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 COVET fits

If you've already solved COVER, change its fifth letter from R to T. The bottom word, COMET, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from COVET only in the third letter, M instead of V.
