Wordle 924 2/6

Particularly intriguing (to me) is the location of the word "only" in a sentence as a modifier of what the speaker intends to convey.

This is a pet peeve - people often place the "only" incorrectly for their intended meaning.

Particularly intriguing (to me) is the location of the word "only" in a sentence as a modifier of what the speaker intends to convey. Here is an example I found on the web. Each line is followed by the intended meaning in italics.

https://www.wikihow.com/Sample/Only-Usage

Only + “You should take medicine for your cough.”

Only you should take medicine for your cough.
No one else should be permitted to do so except you.

You only should take medicine for your cough.
You should do nothing else besides take medicine.

You should only take medicine for your cough.
You should take medicine, but ignore other treatment options.

You should take only medicine for your cough.
You should not ingest anything else besides the medicine.

You should take medicine only for your cough.
You should take medicine for your cough, but not for any other ailments you may have.

We can safely conclude that "only" does not commute with the other words in a sentence.

You should take medicine for your only cough.
You only have one cough.

You should take medicine for your only cough.
You only have one cough.

Things could get really confusingly hairy if more than one 'only' were allowed in there. :

I'm not lucky with my start words.

Pure luck. I had a choice of 41 words after the first guess.

I was lucky too. Given my standard seed, the choice of today's answer left only one possibility.

 

[Orodruin]

Given my standard seed, the choice of today's answer left only one possibility.

Interestingly, the inverse is also true. Given today’s solution and your pattern leaves only one possibility for your seed. (Unless I am mistaken.)

The deadliest of Wordle sins: Letting your streak fall, not due to failure to solve, but to not playing!

Edit: I may have misread your post as not playing. If a hiccup then it happens to the best of us (last time I lost my streak I knew perfectly well what the word was on guess 6 … but misspelled it …)

Out of interest, where are people’s streaks at?
