FARES

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 FARES fits

If you've already solved PARES, change its first letter from P to F. The bottom word, FACES, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FARES only in the third letter, C instead of R.
