"Stouter" answer

The answer for Sunday's puzzle is:

FATTER

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 FATTER fits

If you've already solved FASTER, change its third letter from S to T. The bottom word, FATHER, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FATTER only in the fourth letter, H instead of T.
