Question: why not matched #54

I think this should be correct what am I doing wrong?

The game requires the regular expressions to match the entire word, not just a substring. Your attempt would only match strings of the form L, LL, LLwL, wLLL, wwwww, etc.

You are right. It would be nice to show somehow that it has matched substring but not the full words. Right now it seems regardless of what I have typed, nothing is happening. That was my source of confusion.

Thanks for this simple and yet engaging game

I plan to rewrite the game some day (see #47), when that happens I will keep that in mind.
