Do we start over when it dead ends? I always watch someone continue by using the last two letters in a new words by just adding a letter. If that isn't correct, let me know. I just play as I see others play.

I will leave it where it is:

Denmark

OK - I will give away my secret - there lots of crossword puzzle helpers on the internet - just google for "crossword puzzle helpers" - You can give the last two letters of a hard word and a number of letters and it will give you suggestions.
Since English names of things in other countries are allowed, and company names and product names there is usually a solution. Sometimes I play for fun words - sometimes for free association and sometimes to give the next player a stumper.

One I like is
https://www.wordplays.com/crossword-helper

Here is another
https://www.crosswordsolver.org/solve/kr---

Gives

Kraft (that cheese company)

So - that is my secret - I use the cross word puzzles helpers for the hard ones.

Up to me: with "st"

WTWO - virtual channel 2, UHF digital channel 35, is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Terre Haute, Indiana, United States.
OR
WTF - "Huh?" in Internet circles
OR
WTS - lbs, ozs, etc)

so, with Ergo to me:

Or even "twiddle".

BTW, I've always taken "Use the Last Two Letters for a New Word" to mean that those last two letters are used, as-is or reversed, as the first two letters of a new word. It seems most players use that too.

Meanwhile...

Standpipe.
