+## Custom Random Selectors
+
+The WFC library now supports customizable random selection strategies for choosing cell values during the collapse process. This allows users to implement different randomization algorithms while maintaining compile-time compatibility.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Default Random Selector**: A constexpr-compatible seed-based randomizer using linear congruential generator
+- **Advanced Random Selector**: High-quality randomization using `std::mt19937` and `std::uniform_int_distribution`
+- **Custom Selectors**: Support for user-defined selector classes that can capture state and maintain behavior between calls
+- **Lambda Support**: Selectors can be implemented as lambdas with captured variables for flexible behavior
+
+### Usage
+
+#### Basic Usage with Default Selector
+
+```cpp
+using MyWFC = WFC::Builder<MyWorld, int, VariableMap>
+    ::SetRandomSelector<WFC::DefaultRandomSelector<int>>
+    ::Build;
+
+MyWorld world(size);
+MyWFC::Run(world, seed);
+```
+
+#### Advanced Random Selector
+
+```cpp
+using MyWFC = WFC::Builder<MyWorld, int, VariableMap>
+    ::SetRandomSelector<WFC::AdvancedRandomSelector<int>>
+    ::Build;
+
+MyWorld world(size);
+MyWFC::Run(world, seed);
+```
+
+#### Custom Selector Implementation
+
+```cpp
+class CustomSelector {
+private:
+    mutable int callCount = 0;
+
+public:
+    size_t operator()(std::span<const int> possibleValues) const {
+        // Round-robin selection
+        return callCount++ % possibleValues.size();
+    }
+};
+
+using MyWFC = WFC::Builder<MyWorld, int, VariableMap>
+    ::SetRandomSelector<CustomSelector>
+    ::Build;
+```
+
+#### Stateful Lambda Selector
+
+```cpp
+int counter = 0;
+auto selector = [&counter](std::span<const int> values) mutable -> size_t {
+    return counter++ % values.size();
+};
+
+// Use with WFC (would need to wrap in a class for template parameter)
+```
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+1. **Compile-time Compatible**: The default selector works in constexpr contexts for compile-time WFC solving
+2. **Stateful Selection**: Selectors can maintain state between calls for deterministic or custom behaviors
+3. **Flexible Interface**: Simple function signature `(std::span<const VarT>) -> size_t` makes implementation easy
+4. **Performance**: Custom selectors can optimize for specific use cases (e.g., always pick first, weighted selection)
