   Presenting: Regexle, a wordle-like game for nerds 🤓

   Guess the secret regular expression by testing strings against it!

   @piko and I might be two years late with this project, but here we go!

     @blinry @piko *Guessing* a regex? Oh no.
     At least code-golfing one could be fun.

     @fernsehmuell @blinry @rachel @piko Got the same thing in WebKitGTK, with the following error in the console:

     [Error] RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. (anonymous function) (script.js:52)

     @lanodan @fernsehmuell @blinry @piko I love that part of the puzzle is making it work in WebKit 😆

     @cinnamon @blinry @piko Code golfing is getting the shortest one though, often via exploiting arcane tricks.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @blinry@chaos.social @piko@chaos.social I love that "code-golfing" expression because... well, because that's also how I construct regexes, with trial and error, always trying to keep my "score" on par with the "course". :blobcatgiggle2:

     We totally forgot to mention: There's a new Regexle every day!

     For today's puzzle, you still have ninety minutes if you're in the UTC+2 time zone! After that, you will have to manipulate your system clock if you want to play it :D

     Also, we'd be curious to get feedback for how well the site works for people using screenreaders, and what we could improve!

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) repeated this.

     You can create your own puzzles in the sidebar, and get a link to share with others!

     We have daily regexes to guess for the next month, but feel free to send us your ideas, and we'll add them!
