Not really. If you always use the same starting word then sooner or later that will be the day’s word.
It doesn’t actually make solving the puzzle any fun, though. I typed in a word and I was done.
“Sooner or later” could be a very long time though....
I use one from a set of several words as starters.... depending on my mood at the time.... and how I think certain words have been ‘performing’ in recent days....
I will have to check, but I think that I only got a row one solution once.
