JavaScript - Search for element in array that includes SOME of text

Question

I am trying to find in an array includes SOME of the text in an element. Here is what I have:

['red', 'green', 'blue'].some(e => e.includes('red:square')) // false

Which returns false. But I would like it to return true because obviously red is inside one of the elements of the array.

You can use Alternation ( | ) and Search function

console.log(['red', 'green', 'blue'].some(e => e.search(/red|square/)))

 console.log(['red', 'green', 'blue'].some(e => ['red','square'].includes(e))) //positive test case 


 console.log(['red', 'green', 'blue'].some(e => ['white','square'].includes(e))) //negative test case
