5. Red Flag Words – They chat a lot and do a lot of collaboration by typing. The more they collaborate the more they use certain words. The words don’t sound that dangerous to begin with: “need”, “can’t”, “everyone”, “easy”, “nobody”. “We need this feature.” A lot of needs but very few necessities. When you run into situations where everyone has needs that’s where animosity arises. “Can’t” is on the opposite end of the spectrum. “Can’t deliver this proposal unless we do X,” the truth is you probably can. Maybe you do but you probably don’t. “Easy” is a word you use to describe other people’s jobs. It’s pretty loaded and presumptuous. Watch out for these red flags. “Everyone” and “nobody” are words used as words to move towards decisions.

This solver does not employ deductive reasoning. Instead, it employs a technique called bifurcation which systematically tries every possible digit in every empty cell until the solution is achieved. Here's a summary of the algorithm.
1. Find an empty cell
1a. If there are no more empty cells, the puzzle is solved
2. Fill the empty cell with the lowest possible valid number
2a. If no valid number exists, backtrack to the previous empty cell
and try the next higher valid number in that cell
3. Go to step 1 -
