Learn Functional Programming by Building a Spreadsheet - Step 35

Tell us what’s happening:

fCC test constantly states: " Your rangeRegex should use a character class in the capture group. Your rangeRegex should use a character class to match A through J."

Can someone please fully explain, where I have NOT used a character class in the capture group.
As the fCC tests are Very verbose; the instructions should Explicitly state what character class and capture group are required; as there are many different acceptable solutions; yet the fCC test is only concerned with ONE specific solution!
I have tried different regex variations in my local environment and they work.
This type of response from the fCC tests is NOT HELPFUL to those new to learning javascript.

Composing the full regex is split in few steps here. In this step literally is expected to be able to match the first character of range.
