> ...update the JS each day with the new word

Even more hands off than that. The script contained the entire list of words and each day it just moved to the next entry in the list. It makes sense, in that originating as a fun personal project the author wouldn't want to be burdened with a daily update task.

Edit:

Out of curiosity I had a look at the Wordle on the NYT site, and it's still the same script.
