I'm getting the following error
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 1 path $
There are some other solutions out there, but none have worked for me.
Most seem to be talking about having to make Call<WordOfTheDay> into Call<List<WordOfTheDay>>, but since the json is not an array that does not help.
I believe it's the JSON, but am not sure.
