That’s up to the browser’s font rendering and spacing. The squares are unicode emoji characters (e.g. U+1F7E9 for the green square).

It’s also “Bulls and Cows”, which is more than a century old.

I found this today.

Looking at the source code, this is all entirely possible. The Wordle number in the “Share” function is automatically generated from a variable: “e.dayOffset”.

It was all in Gary Bowser’s plea deal, and in the evidence quoted in his indictment:

To be clear, this guy wasn’t just creating modchips for homebrew.

The bizarre thing was that I’d architected most of their software as a contractor, been heavily involved with investor engagement, and essentially designed the whole platform the company ran on. All while working remotely from Australia. I felt I had plenty of leverage, but clearly they disagreed.

A few years ago, I worked at a startup that “swiftly made changes”.
