To a philosopher of language a word-to-world fit occurs when, say, a sports journalist correctly names Jones as a goal scorer ; whilst if the journalist mistakenly names Smith as the goal scorer, the printed account does not display a word-to-world fit, and must be altered such that it matches the real world.
Conversely, a world-to-word fit occurs when a fan of Smith's team opines that they deserved to win the match, even though they lost.
In this case, the world would have to change to make the sports fan's wish become true.
