Hi everyone!
I’ve been experimenting with Airtable as a way to organize and share daily word puzzles inspired by the NYT game Letter Boxed. The idea is to create a base where:
-
each day’s puzzle layout is stored,
-
community submissions (solutions) are logged,
-
performance (time/words/points) can be tracked,
-
and users can filter or sort challenges by difficulty or date.
So far it’s been really helpful for keeping everything structured and allowing others to contribute solutions easily.
A couple of things I’ve set up in the base:
-
Grid view for daily puzzles with letter sets and status
-
Form view so players can submit solutions
-
Leaderboard view sorted by points or speed
I’m curious how others here might use Airtable for game-like engagement, daily challenges, or community-driven activities. Has anyone built something similar? Any tips on making the base more efficient or fun (e.g., automations, lookups, dashboards)?
Thanks! Looking forward to your ideas
