Other than that, great game!
considering free windows being light theme only, it should be a button, not a "system default"
We made a similar game several years ago for the Pyweek game competition, but there wasn't the fun "letter invaders" style that this one has.

I really like your implementation!
Might be good to limit some of the special operators to give more focus -- otherwise the early levels are a bit too solvable with ".*"
I believe that the "enemies":
1. Must start with "#"
2. Must be exactly 6 hex digits
3. Must be lowercase
One usability request: after firing a regex, could the text box be cleared? It's not hard to hit Ctrl+A and start typing again, but it does add a bit of friction. (I can send a PR)

Let’s wait how affordable, available and good AI is when the companies turn to profit maximization and enshittification begins
This is the worst local AI will ever be. It only gets better from here. https://xcancel.com/sudoingX/status/2033959603944493192#m
Imagine Qwen 3.5 created in the 1990s and then use it for today web or desktop development.
And is the problem solved that training AI with AI code makes the AI worse? If not the "it only gets better" claim is questionable.
As people train the models on new data they'll be increasingly training on AI output including hallucinations and slop. More garbage in means even more garbage out and the cycle will continue as "updated" models decline in quality.
