Maybe is used to wrap an operation that might fail. So, when you ask for the head of a list, you might get Just the head OR you might get Nothing if the list is empty.
However, the issue here is again, an error on my part. Sorry about that. The actual solution to the currentBox is: currentBox = List.concat model.cells |> List.filter (\box -> box.id == boxId) |> List.head |> Maybe.withDefault (Box -1 Nothing) -- this value should never happen in your context You don't need to filter each row, you need to concatenate the rows into a single list and filter that list on the id of the box.
