PUZZLE #4773: Watershed D8 Flow Model (diff 3)

watershed learn difficulty: 3/7 simulate author: system unsolved

A 8×8 elevation grid. Compute D8 flow accumulation — drainage area per cell maps to letters.

DATA
Elevation [12, 86, 90, 76, 87, 77, 58, 41], [88, 45, 82, 26, 37, 78, 77, 90], [42, 30, 51, 67, 36, 22, 27, 83], [79, 45, 36, 84, 85, 78, 77, 36], [51, 33, 23, 43, 65, 35, 36, 35], [50, 31, 14, 38, 25, 55, 50, 14], [68, 24, 36, 22, 75, 75, 61, 76], [88, 23, 23, 23, 83, 19, 68, 80]
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
