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)
