That's a great site! Thanks for the link, never heard of it before.

The problem is not in the complexity of the kata, but in the stupid description. Nothing is said about the fact that there can be more petals than sayings.

to ensure case insensitivity

shut up mark

Try that in regex101.com And there is no need to ask the same three times.

It ensures case-insensitivity:

"Alligator" != "alligator"

Forcing the animal to lower case means it will always match properly.

Reading the description and the sample tests.

If this one is an alligator (case-insensitive)

Because of that.

I'm not a JavaScript expert, but this kata is asking you to use some basic features of the language to manipulate strings of characters.

If you need help, a good place to start would be searching for "working with JavaScript strings" or something like that - for example this site is a top search result:

W3Schools JavaScript strings

then this section:

W3Schools JavaScript string methods

If you want easier kata you can sort the the 8kyus. They are normally sorted by newest. You can sort them by easiest or most completed to get easier katas

yeah, this should probably be 7 kyu, I dont think it is hard enough to be 6, but definitely 7
