I am a non-coder. Last year, I tried to build a squares app using Cursor and ChatGPT but hit a hard wall with the backend logic. I ended up with a local HTML file that looked good but could not handle remote users.

Two weeks ago, I tried again using Claude Code and the new Opus 4.5 model.

The difference was massive. I was able to build a fully functional application with a WordPress backend that handles real-time score updates across all player boards.

I also added some logic-heavy features:

Historical Heat Maps: Visualizes which number combinations have won most frequently in past Super Bowls.

Quick Pick: Allows users to randomly select squares instantly.

There is no registration or account requirement so it's easy to try out, happy to hear any suggestions.
