Using the `match()` method, you can extract parts of a string that match with your regular expression. In this challenge, you are extracting the word "coding" from the string provided.
## Hint 1:
Change your regex to detect the word "coding".
## Hint 2:
Did you call the `match()` method on the string?
## Spoiler Alert - Solution Ahead!
## Solution:
```javascript
let extractStr = "Extract the word 'coding' from this string.";
let codingRegex = /coding/;
let result = extractStr.match(codingRegex);
```
