Using Airtable to Track and Share Daily Letter Boxed-Style Word Challenges

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:

1. Grid view for daily puzzles with letter sets and status

2. Form view so players can submit solutions

3. 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 😊
