"Captain ___ (Peter Pan character, whose name is also something attached to his arm)" answer
The answer for Tuesday's puzzle is:
HOOK
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 HOOK fits
This one is a fill-in-the-blank. With HOOK in the gap, you get "Captain HOOK."
If you've already solved HOOD, change its fourth letter from D to K. The bottom word, BOOK, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from HOOK only in the first letter, B instead of H.
