It gives you hints below the score, for 6 it's: You're allowed to cheat a little, since this one is technically impossible. No idea how you cheat... EDIT, SPOILERS: I get 170 with ^(.?)(.)(.).?\3\2\1$

176 with ^(.)(.).*\2\1$

I got ranges at 202 with [a-f]{4} 198 on plain strings with .\*foo[lt]?.* Then I stopped trying.

Plain string: just 'foo' works.

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

I like the idea, but words there seems to be pretty random. I can't figure out the pattern, not even talking about writing regex... :(
