Alphabet to Numerical
Solve the alphametic puzzle by replacing the alphabet with the number.
S T O R M +
S O L E S
=========
T O W E L
=========
4 9 7 0 2
+
4 7 6 1 4
============
9 7 3 1 6
There are only 8 characters so there is more than one solution!!
Since S+S=T and T+ O = O meaning T is zero or 10 (9+1) so T can not be zero hence it has to be 9 therefor S must be 4.
And since we also have R+E=E than R must be zero.
Now M+S < 10 so M+4 < 9 than M can be 1,2,3
If M=1 than L=5 and L+ O > 10 than O can be 7 or 8 so we get
4 9 7 0 1 4 9 8 0 1
+ +
4 7 5 3,6,8 4 4 8 5 2,6,7 4
============ ============
9 7 2 3,6,8 5 9 8 3 2,6,7 5
If M=2 than L=6 and L+0 > 10 than O can be 5 or 7 so we get
4 9 5 0 2 4 9 7 0 2
+ +
4 5 6 3,7,8 4 4 7 6 1,5,8 4
=========== ============
9 5 1 3,7,8 6 9 7 3 1,5,8 6
If M=3 than L=7 and L+O > 10 than O can be 5 or 8 so we get
4 9 5 0 3 4 9 8 0 3
+ +
4 5 7 1,6,8 4 4 8 7 1,2,6 4
=========== ============
9 5 2 1,6,8 7 9 8 5 1,2,6 7
