The answer for Wednesday's puzzle is:

FRET

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 FRET fits

If you've already solved FEET, change its second letter from E to R. The top word, FREE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from FRET only in the fourth letter, E instead of T.
