It's a word-puzzle game that incrementally teaches you how to use Regular Expressions (RegEx) to find & replace text. Some of the puzzles add silly restraints for you to work around, and the game has charming NPC coworkers that introduce each challenge.

They may need to mix it up by switching to 2 crossed staffs with a total of 3 snakes to get it juuusst right.

If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I like learning through games, because it helps keep me engaged. BitBurner is a free incremental JavaScript programming game that I enjoyed. It even has a coding puzzle element similar to games on codin game.com, which has a bunch of free games/puzzles in several languages.

These games didn't necessarily walk me through programming concepts, but got me comfortable with reading documentation and a offered a sandbox to experiment in. YMMV.
