Hi everyone 
I’m currently building a daily puzzle game in Glide and I’d appreciate some guidance on the best approach for handling UI state per item in a collection.
Each puzzle has a set of letters (e.g. A, E, F, G, P, S, V), displayed in a grid (see attached image). Each letter corresponds to a correct answer, and when a user submits a correct guess (e.g. “egg” for E), I want only that specific letter tile to update visually (e.g. turn green with a checkmark).
My current setup includes:
-
A Puzzle Answers table (each row = letter + answer)
-
A Solved Answers table (each row = a correctly solved answer per user)
-
A User Progress table
What I’m trying to achieve is:
-
Each letter tile in the collection should independently reflect its solved state for the current user
-
Styling (background color, icon) should update only for the matched letter, not the entire collection
My question is:
What’s the most reliable way in Glide to conditionally style individual items in a collection based on whether a related record exists (filtered per user)?
