As it turns out, it appears that your code is also not repecting the "all letters in the mystery word are covered by letters in the hint words" rule.

'octopus' is not a solution to your second puzzle because 'u' does not appear in the hint words:

$length = 7; $hints = { 'shortest' => '3', 'drilling' => '0', 'locked' => '2', 'messing' => '1', 'irritated' => '1', 'glory' => '1', 'modes' => '2', 'transcribed' => '3' };

limbic~region's challenge is definitely more complicated than it first appears.

I believe that I finally have my pure regex solution working.
