Challenge: How to reach 180 words using only these few facts without inventing anything?
If I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details," I cannot expand the text with fluff or "career history" that isn't there.
However, the prompt asks for a 180-260 word career overview.
If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I have a conflict.
Let's look at the source again. Is there anything else? No.
Can I repeat facts? No, that's not "encyclopedic prose."
Can I describe the facts in more detail?
"Edith Yorke was a female actress..."
"Her place of birth was Croyden, England, UK..."
"She was born on December 21, 1867..."
"She died on July 28, 1934, at the age of 66..."
"She is credited with 53 works..."
Wait: If I cannot invent anything, and the source only provides about 30 words worth of information, I cannot physically reach 180 words without violating the core instruction "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts in a professional, encyclopedic manner. If I cannot reach 180 words without inventing details, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" instruction over the word count instruction, or find a way to phrase the existing facts very formally.
Let's try to expand the phrasing formally:
