newb rexeg question

I know this is going to end up with me looking stupid, but why does this:

...
(re-search-forward "^[a-z]...$")
...

insist on matching the word "Abba" in this word list:

...
abates
abating
Abba
abbe
abbey
...

I would think it would find "abbe".

I'm trying to match non-capitalized, four-letter words, and this is ticking me off. Please tell me what I'm missing.

Thanks,
