Word of the day screensaver

I've recently "upgraded" a client's Mac from Yosemite to Catalina. She's asking if there's any way to get the "word of the day" screensaver to run again under Catalina. Anyone know?

Screensaver changes won't save Sounds similar to this issue: Screen saver won't change - Apple Community, but none of the suggestions there worked for me. No matter which screensaver I choose it reverts to Flurry. 2019 Macbook Pro Ventura 13.2

Where is Ventura screen saver on disk? Ok... I can see the lovely new "Ventura" screen saver in System Settings > Screen Saver But... There's no Ventura.saver in /System/Library/Screen Savers (where all the others are stored) And when I run the following to list all the Screensavers on the system: tell application "System Events" to set allScreensavers to name of every screen saver the output is: {"Random", "Word of the Day", "Arabesque", "Hello", "Flurry", "Monterey", "Drift", "Shell", "Album Artwork", "FloatingMessage"} so, again, they're all there except "Ventura". I also tried a file search for Ventura.saver from the top of the disk, and still nothing. Where is it?

Screensaver does not work Screen saver does not work. I have an iMac running Ventura 13.2.1 Selecting Classic or Ken Burns screensaver results in a monochrome screen that cycles through different colors. It used to work with previous MacOS's.
