I'm doing the tutorial and having never really understood regex, i just fill in 'A' everytime, and i pass all the tests. Not learning anything though.

- kdbg 7y agoNot sure how you're managing that, A is the answer to the first tutorial, but doesn't work for the second one. If you click Validate it'll shake and turn red, though you can skip ahead all you want, you want it to turn green and add a checkmark next to the title.
- navane 7y agoI wasn't entirely truthfull. Still, 4, 6, 7, 8 are all 'A' solutions. I went back over them and googled some words, now I do understand those. I guess all I showed was that if you don't want to learn, you're not gonna learn.
- lordgrenville 7y agoAgreed. I blazed through the tutorial without thinking much, and then when I started Beginner #1 I had to go back and look up most of it again.
- sli 7y agoYeah, some of the puzzles in Beginner seem to imply they need more than one character entered, but you can only enter a single character. `EP|IP|EF` matches those pairs literally, so I'm not sure what it wants me to enter if it only accepts one character. I'm no regex beginner but this overall presentation is pretty confusing.
- Jtsummers 7y agoThat example you gave is from the first Beginner puzzle, correct? There are two spaces to fill in. So one of those three sequences is the answer to that column (or row if you've rotated the puzzle). There's not an error. If you find the interface confusing, start with the tutorial levels which begin with a single character solution and progress to larger solutions. Each cell is clearly meant to be one character in a string, with the row/column being the entire string.
