"Microsoft's video messaging app, or groups of coworkers it might bring together" answer

The answer for Sunday's puzzle is:

TEAMS

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 TEAMS fits

If you've already solved TRAMS, change its second letter from R to E. The bottom word, TEARS, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from TEAMS only in the fourth letter, R instead of M.
