INTERCEPTED DATA
----------------
> elevation:
[[35, 37, 38, 70, 86, 27, 84, 47], [48, 39, 32, 32, 86, 77, 70, 71], [70, 19, 24, 85, 84, 73, 16, 23], [15, 28, 13, 42, 77, 71, 13, 66], [41, 32, 84, 16, 14, 15, 53, 76], [64, 43, 20, 50, 60, 19, 69, 43], [75, 26, 28, 86, 60, 24, 62, 65], [11, 10, 67, 28, 21, 29, 40, 72]]
> grid size:
8
> n chars:
6
> hint:
For each cell: find lowest neighbor (8-directional). Water flows that way. Accumulate flow from upstream cells. Sort outlet cells by accumulation -> letters.
> answer format:
lowercase letters, no spaces or punctuation
