This was linked on reddit a few years ago and I really enjoyed playing it. It sort of nerdsniped me for about an hour when I originally played. It’s been expanded with a few more puzzles since then.
How quickly can you solve it?
Ill add Regex Golf to the list
well there goes my next hour
This is actually more to my taste than the crossword, thanks !
Im a fan of both, but glad I could help 😃
Ooooohhhh I love this. Thank you!
I would expect you to, @NegativeLookBehind.
I figured, if there’s one place on the whole internet likely to appreciate this kind of tubonerdery it’d be Lemmy.
There was a more polished site I found several years ago with the same sort of puzzles. I did one a week or so for months, and now I no longer have to look up how to regex stuff!
So, I might be the dumb one here, but what the hell am I looking at?
It’s a crossword puzzle, but using patterns. Regular expressions will match whatever pattern you give it. For example, you could say, match any word that doesn’t have an o or an e in it. That’s what this is, except a bunch of them.
Yeah. I’m definitely the dumb one. I have no idea what’s going on.
Honestly don’t feel bad. Regex is fuckwit of a thing to learn. I hate when I have to use it and need to lookup the docs every time.
Oh no, I might actually have to learn regex to pull this off
