there you go RegexCrossword
if you have difficulties to read the vertical regex hover it...

* if you press Help on top you get a nice helplist with common pattern matcher

*edit:
if your brain goes totally out of control you can verify your ideas with that nice live matcher:

Wow, I did one of these once but this site looks like it has more than one.

I did this one: http://jimbly.github.io/regex-crossword/ as I remember the clues. But it was an image of that one which someone had printed.

Actually, the one I did was exactly the image from this source at the bottom of that page. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/144-graphics-and-games/5450-can-you-do-the-regular-expression-crossword.html

This should be valid, right? All four conditions are met.
If yes: website buggy/silly, 'cause it wont let me pass.
If no: where is my mistake?
+1 / -0
No, because "no character" is not allowed. So it has to match any character...
and in this case it is "O" not "O "
Also if you need whitespace... the square will get black

Which of the regex rules says so? Where is the conflict?

Regex Crossword is a game similar to sudoku or the traditional crossword puzzle, where you must guess the correct letters in the horizontal and vertical lines of a grid.
Can you just take it Skasi that there has to be at least one character...? :)

/ and * are not letters either though. Neither are numbers.

There should not be any hidden conditions, only the ones visible on the screen.

(psst, I am just sad/disappointed that the game does not reward (my) creativity)

Skasi it just looks like you are being intentionally obtuse.

Nah, the game is. As are responses that neither confirm that my input is valid nor explain where I made a mistake. (I'm not a regex pro)

I'm fine with entering O to continue to the next puzzle, the game is not fine with me not entering O. It's a puzzle about logic and being technically correct, yet it isn't. Mind you, I am not saying you should all stop visiting the website and stop having fun solving the puzzles, I am just pointing out a little "quirk" I noticed/discovered.

Ugh, actually Skasi is technically correct, the best kind of correct.

"Correct" solution is obvious, but I don't see any regex violated either.

I think he confused [] with () ... just a concentration thing. :)
I kinda solved it different, but do not remember how... I didn't need to think about I or T there.
