#2I like the concept but the word choice doesn't seem too "regular", it is more about catching all the particulars rather than finding a pattern as far as I can tell.

#3I have the most trouble with regex, and something about seeing my matches as I type made this incredibly useful for me!

#4Fun learning tool for regex.
Re: Regex Golf
#5I like the idea, but words there seems to be pretty random. I can't figure out the pattern, not even talking about writing regex... :(
Re: Regex Golf
#6what's the pattern on "Abba"? I thought it was just to exclude doubled letters but I have doubles on two words on the left hand side as well (noisefully and effusive, in case the word lists are the same)

There are good patterns, the first regex for me was /foo/, the second /ick$/, for example. They're there.

that's twice as long as it has to be.. not that it matters.

I got a 3 character pattern for the first puzzle and a 4 character pattern for the second puzzle (and reading a comment here I see there is a 2 char pattern for the second puzzle).
Only used 1 special char between them (anchoring something). So the first two sets have repeated 3 character sequences, and in one of them they follow an additional pattern.
For the third sequence, 8 character solution, lots of specials.
