Taken from page 1 - 'If you feel the game has got "stuck" eg it ends up with a longish word that no-one seems to be able to do anything with, you may suggest that the game should be restarted, and assuming the next person is also unable to come up with a correct following word, then they can restart the game with a new 4-letter word of their choosing.' As deacons isn't a genuine change to second because it has rearranged the letters AND added one, if we are starting again then it should be with a new four letter word. But as it's only a bit of fun, we can't we carry on from 'deacons' ?
