"Colloquial term for an animated TV show" answer
The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:
TOON
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 TOON fits
If you've already solved TOOL, change its fourth letter from L to N. The top word, TOWN, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from TOON only in the third letter, W instead of O.
