Very cool. The horsle demo made me think, how hard would it be to add a virtual memory address (or a non-8086 RAND instruction) that returns a random byte (that would allow it to pick a random value and get a standard wordle working in principle)
I see CSS random() is only supported by Safari, I wonder if there's some side channel that would work in Chrome specifically? (I guess timing the user input would work)

It's really easy, I was considering adding it.
The easiest way is to make an @property that's animated at ridiculous speeds that can be sampled to get (sort of) random bits.
Or use a cycle timer and run a PRNG from it.
Or wait for us to launch random() :-) (It's in development, available if you enable a flag)
