Hah, yeah, but it also says 'all sides' and that had me following a dead-end for awhile, and something in the challenge hint forums made me think it might be exactly three in total, but surrounding the lowercase letter. i.e. XjXX
OK, proceeding down the right direction, I've matched a 477 character string, which apparently means you're doing it wrong, it seems to be a common number.
So... how do you use a regex to match AAA but not AAB - ZZZ? I'm trying to use this pattern -
(?P<first>[A-Z]{1})(?P=first)(?P=first) and it's not doing it for me.
Basically, all I want to do is match anything upper-case, as it as it matches the other letters.
This matches '[A-Z]{3}[a-z]{1}[A-Z]{3}' 477 occurences... so I hope that it's all the same letter.
But yeah, any help on the regex would be great.

Take the challenge's hint a little more literally, it's quite
specific. This one had me stumped for a little while until I realized
my mistake.
