In addition to some Words being just plain better than others ( https://www.reddit.com/r/godbound/comments/c9to7r/an_extended_tier_list_for_godbound_words/ ) and other Words being in need of revision ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/13nooujjQXDHEBfAcJt1xXB-Mmm32MaTZiMMll7EWJwU/edit ), certain Words encourage somewhat unintuitive playstyles.
For example, you were playing a "folksy Fertility god." Did you know that one of the better ways to get value out of Fertility is to spam Birth Blessing on inanimate objects, such as the ground?

>While I didn't specifically think of using Birth Blessing to make inanimate objects pregnant, it was intended to cover all living creatures, male or female, and I'd probably be okay with letting the PC use it on pretty much anything, with the caveat that it'd produce humans (or appropriate creatures) and not baby wagons or lampshades or whatnot. It's a very narrow gift in its scope, and while it gives people something that many humans are desperate to have, it's something the PC has to build a plan around if they're going to get real use out of it.
Did you know that the Fertility greater gift Unending Abundance is significantly outstripped by the Desert lesser gift Azure Oasis Spring?
>Azure Oasis Spring, Action
>Summon a water source, causing a new spring to gush forth. Repeated use of this ability can provide sufficient water supplies for almost any number of people, or erode and destroy non-magical structures within an hour. At the Godbound's discretion, this summoned water is magically invigorating, supplying all food needs for those who drink it. These springs last until physically destroyed or dispelled by the Godbound. Optionally, the Godbound may instead instantly destroy all open water and kill all natural springs within two hundred feet per character level, transforming ordinary land into sandy wastes.
