"Green citrus fruit" answer

The answer for Sunday's puzzle is:

LIME

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 LIME fits

If you've already solved TIME, change its first letter from T to L. The bottom word, LIMA, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from LIME only in the fourth letter, A instead of E.
