To exclude a specific word using regular expressions (regex), you can use negative lookahead (?!word) in your pattern. This will match any string that does not contain the specified word.


For example, if you want to match all words except "apple", you can use the following regex pattern:

1
(?!apple)[a-z]+


In this pattern, (?!) is the negative lookahead that excludes the word "apple" from being matched. You can adjust the word "apple" to exclude a different word in your specific use case.
