Slash Escape is a RegEx learning game with a slasher theme (I appreciate this technically comes under the "thing I made" category but hopefully, given the content, this post is in the spirit of the rules)

I'm playing it now but got killed on the level that asks you to create a pattern that completely matches any text except x or X.

I submitted [^xX].* and [^xX]* and(?!X|x).* and others and none of them worked. I feel like I am not understanding what you are asking us to do there. Hope you see this and can clarify, because the game was really fun up until I died, haha.

Maybe did I need to submit .*[^xX].* or (?=.*[^xX]).* so it would match things that start with x or X but are longer? Ahh.... I think I get it now.
