The answer for Friday's puzzle is:
DATE
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 DATE fits
If you've already solved DARE, change its third letter from R to T. Coming from DOTE instead, swap its second letter, O, for an A. Either way, you end up at DATE.
