I believe that the 6th and 7th mobile puzzles are unsolvable with the provided character sets. Am I missing something?


You can scroll the letter bank. It all shows up in landscape for me, but that obscures the grid.


Ah okay, thank you. It turns out that it's possible to horizontally scroll the bank but it's very difficult to do so on my phone.


I used this site to get started with regex in 2016. Nowadays I recommend it to anybody new to regex.


It's pretty awesome, I just learned regex and found it useful
