"Walking aid" answer

The answer for Saturday's puzzle is:

CANE

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 CANE fits

If you've already solved CANS, change its fourth letter from S to E. The bottom word, LANE, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from CANE only in the first letter, L instead of C.
