  I think the point is to sort the word to match as well,
and to try to match it against the regex as a whole:

    hello:
      matches('ehllo', '^a?e?f?m?r?r?$')
      false
    farm:
      matches('afmr', '^a?e?f?m?r?r?$')
      true
    farmer:
      matches('aefmrr', '^a?e?f?m?r?r?$')
      true
