I love these! There are more out there on the Internet and I've unfortunately done all of them more than once, so I'm craving more. I'll be diving deep into this.

Not sure if this helped me get better at regular expressions or getting better at regular expressions helped me with these.

I love these too.

Every day I use the iOS NYTimes Games app to play the daily round of Wordle, Spelling Bee, the mini-crossword, and Connections.

We need a daily regex puzzle rotation. I have no idea how you would generate these programmatically.

Generating them programmatically would be fun. Regex matching is NP-complete already thanks to backreferences. But even without backreferences, rectangular regex crosswords can encode SAT problems. So, solving these hexagonal crosswords is already quite the challenge. Making them, and ensuring they have a unique solution is quite the puzzlecraft!

Personally speaking, I'm delighted that more people have contributed puzzles since the last time this was posted, and I look forward to seeing more.

Have you given letterboxd a shot? Can be surprisingly hard

Then give Chedoku a try too.
