After swyx shared a nine-card variant of the 24 game, developer nathanliow exhaustively verified the claim 'you can just say any number': checking every possible 9-card hand (270,270 total) against every target from 1 to 10,000.
The result is Nine Card Reach, a visualization with one bar per target number showing how many hands can make it, color-coded from 'almost every hand' to 'impossible for the current hand'.
