"Flowery garlands used in hula dancing" answer
The answer for Saturday's puzzle is:
LEIS
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 LEIS fits
If you've already solved LETS, change its third letter from T to I. The bottom word, LEIA, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from LEIS only in the fourth letter, A instead of S.
