## Find More Than the First Match
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds -->
If you have multiple occurrences of your regex inside a string, you can get the `match()` function to detect all of them. Simply tag along the `g` flag at the end of your regex! That's what you're doing in this challenge.
## Hint 1:
Change the regex so that it detects the word "twinkle".
## Hint 2:
You can add multiple tags to a regex! For example, a regex that detects multiple occurrences, and detects regardless of case, can be structured like `gi` or `ig`.
## Spoiler Alert - Solution Ahead!
## Solution
```javascript
let twinkleStar = "Twinkle, twinkle, little star";
let starRegex = /twinkle/gi;
let result = twinkleStar.match(starRegex);
```
