I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

Hint: look at backreferencing captured groups.

Thank You @ArielLeslie.
It solves my problem
console.log(x.filter(y=>(/(\w)\1/).test(y))) 

I’m glad I could help. Happy coding!
