"Colleague who is an equal to you in age, job, and/or social status" answer
The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:
PEER
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 PEER fits
If you've already solved PEAR, change its third letter from A to E. Coming from PIER instead, swap its second letter, I, for an E. Either way, you end up at PEER.
