Language

Matching Alignment

Instructions

This crossword solver lets you search using advanced patterns and options.

  • The wildcard ? will match any letter
  • Lowercase letters will only match same letter
  • Uppercase letters act as substitutes (explained below)

Word Pattern Examples

These are example of full word matching. See Matching Alignment below for more options.

  • a?? will match add, air, ant, etc
  • aXX will match add, all, etc where the two last letters are the same
  • XYXY will match mama, papa, etc
  • ????? will match any 5 letter word

Substitutes explained

Substitutes work like a ? wildcard, but with some differences:

  • Substitutes are always uppercase letters. Any letter can be used. For example aXX and aYY will give the same results.
  • A substitute matches the same letter everywhere. For example XaX matches dad, but not sad.
  • Each substitute matches a unique letter. For example ABC matches age, but not aga.
  • Substitutes don’t match letters that have already been written in lowercase. For example eAB will match elk, but not eel.
  • Substitutes can be freely mixed with ? wildcards. For example A??A matches area and lull.

Matching Alignment

Matching can be done for whole words or partial words.

Full Word Matching

Full word matching requires the whole word to match. For example a??? matches any word that begins with «a» and has 4 letters in total.

Anywhere Word Matching

Anywhere word matching searches for the pattern anywhere within the words. For example «the» matches aesthetic and brother.

Start Word Matching

Start word matching searches for the pattern at the beginning of words. For example «the» matches theorem and thesaurus.

End Word Matching

End word matching searches for the pattern at the end of words. For example «the» matches clothe and soothe.

I am trying to match words with up to two missing letters with regex. For example, if the word of interest is ‘hello’, I want to match the following strings:

hello
hell
helo
hllo
ello
hel
heo
elo
llo

I can use the regex h?e?l?l?o? to match these, but this will also match 0, 1, and 2 letter strings as well. How can I require the match to be 3-5 characters long?

You can use a look ahead to check for 3-5 of those characters:

    (?=[hello]{3,5})h?e?l?l?o?

Note that this will find a match like in a string like help since help contains hel. If you want to stp that you can check word boundaries or ends of string depending on your situation. If you want to match the ends of the sting add a ^ to the beginning and a $ to the end. If you want to check word boundaries add b to both ends.

I think this will work ((?=.{3,})h?e?l?l?o?) — your regex, with «at least 3 characters» added on.

You probably want this to only match whole words as well (not the start of something like «hellow»), so add b to the start and the end: b((?=.{3,})h?e?l?l?o?)b
