TIME
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 TIME fits
This one is a fill-in-the-blank. With TIME in the gap, you get "TIME flies when you're having fun."
If you've already solved TILE, change its third letter from L to M. Coming from LIME instead, swap its first letter, L, for a T. Either way, you end up at TIME.
