Looks nice but it's rejecting valid commands as incorrect. Like when it told me to search for "laugh" I ran

  grep laugh *
There's only one file in the directory. So that's a correct answer but the game wants me to run

  grep laugh night-before-christmas.txt 
It's like those weird interviewers who have a specific answer in mind and they'll accept nothing other than the answer they have in mind.




`grep laugh *` worked for me

I tried again to see if they fixed it. No it still doesn't work. You'll get the output but look closer.

  Output does not match expected lines - try again
So you can't move on to the next level.

they must have fixed it. Works for me, including new sessions on separate browser.

Still doesn't work for me in a new session separate browser. I get the output but I also get this message

  Output does not match expected lines - try again
Does it give you the clue for the next level? Can you or someone else share a screenshot or something so I can compare to find out what I'm missing?

For clean session it goes to the next level.

There is some mess if you already finished the thing, and then use url to particular level on a clean session. For me it looked like I am on level 2, but site expected answers to 1.

When I start from scratch with proper link (main page) simple:

grep laugh *

works


Worked. Thanks!

Or cat night-before-christmas.txt | grep laugh
