"Substance found on a beach or in an hourglass" answer
The answer for Thursday's puzzle is:
SAND
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 SAND fits
If you've already solved BAND, change its first letter from B to S. The bottom word, SAID, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from SAND only in the third letter, I instead of N.
