    🚀 Built a Wordle Game in Anaplan!

    I wanted to experiment with how far I could take Anaplan beyond traditional planning use cases, so I built a fully functional Wordle-style game in Anaplan 🎯

    The game currently has more than 2,000 different games, with each game having its own word. The Context Selector determines which game you're playing.

    Some of the Anaplan concepts I used:

    🔹 Dynamic Cell Access (DCA)

    • Players cannot enter a new attempt before submitting the previous one.
    • The game cannot be refreshed/reset until the player either wins or completes all 6 attempts.
    • Inputs are controlled based on the current game state.

    🔹 Conditional Formatting

    • The guesses are formatted using Wordle-style logic:
      🟢 Correct letter + correct position
      🟡 Correct letter + incorrect position
      ⚪ Letter not present

    🔹 Word Validation

    • A guess can only be submitted if it is a valid 5-letter word.
    • Invalid inputs are prevented from being considered as an attempt.

    🔹 Alphabet Tracker

    • The alphabet grid at the bottom tracks letters that have already been tried, similar to the original Wordle experience.

    🔹 Attempt Status

    • Each attempt has a dedicated Status column that dynamically provides feedback based on the submitted word — from "You got something" and "You're almost there" to "You're Genius Bro" when the word is correct.

    🔹 Overall Game Status

    • An overall status/message bar below the game grid dynamically updates based on the game state, showing messages such as "Keep Trying You'll Get there" or "Congratulations you got it".

    🔹 Game Selector

    • A sequence list of up to 2,000 games allows players to switch between different Wordle challenges, each with its own target word.

    It was a fun exercise in exploring Anaplan UX, model logic, DCA, conditional formatting and user interaction in a completely different use case.

    Would love to hear from the Anaplan community:

    What other non-traditional applications have you built in Anaplan? 😄
