  • Base-n is a numeral positioning system where the value of each digit is n times the value of the dight directly to its right.

    We typically don’t let the maximum digit we use to be greater than or equal to n because then there would be multiple ways to express the same number.

    However when working with weird bases, sometimes it’s useful to forgo this convention.

    What I would have done is started filling in letters randomly and every time a C or W ends up next to an O, choose the same letter or an O to put on the opposite side of the O.

    Its hard to prove, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t a situation where a space can’t be filled in with this algorithm.
