Regex to Plain English Explainer

Understand any regex pattern without a test string

Unlike a regex tester that checks a pattern against sample text, this tool explains the pattern itself: it walks through the whole expression token by token, in order, and describes what each part matches in plain English — anchors, character classes and ranges, shorthand classes like \d \w \s, quantifiers, capturing/non-capturing/named groups, and alternation. Built for reading someone else's regex (or your own from six months ago) without staring at it for ten minutes.
