Specify Upper and Lower Number of Matches: ¿inaccurate instruction?

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

The challenge is:
'Change the regex ohRegex to match ONLY 3 to 6 letter h ‘s in the word "Oh no" .’
But, if the answer is what was indicated in the Hint button, it shouldn’t something like this?
Change the regex ohRegex to match 3 to 6 letter h 's AND/including the word "Oh no" .

Your code so far

//This was my solution 
let ohStr = "Ohhh no";
let ohRegex = /h{3,6}\s/; // Change this line
let result = ohStr.match(ohRegex)
console.log(result)//-->hhh

the challenge is using test method so it is a yes/no answer, returning true or false for the tested strings. it may be a bit more accurate, but as only variations of Oh no are tested, or doesn’t actually matter

if there was a "Shouldn’t match Ahhh" test case, then it would have made a difference
if you want to suggest such a thing you can open an issue on the github repository
