The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:

BONE

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 BONE fits

If you've already solved BANE, change its second letter from A to O. The top word, BONA, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from BONE only in the fourth letter, A instead of E.
