This is a great idea and in the backend it tracks how many tries it took to win, so the data is there. Also, NYT crosswords does this similarly where you can see on the calendar how far into each puzzle you got visually.
Let me take a stab at this...I'll let you know when it's been updated.
Appreciate the feedback, really good insight!

Tried my hand at an update on the calendar. Thoughts? The colors were proving tricky

I've been staring at it too long and can't tell if it looks good or bad
Green = 1st try Yellow = 2nd Try Orange = 3rd Try Red = Fail
That would be pretty cool to see.
Or maybe a superscript by the date (though if you're using some pre-made component that could be harder to implement, but something like that might help colorblind users over my color-only approach). Or you could use a "number of dots system" (but again maybe not easy if a component).
Anyways, this is really cool, thanks for making it!
