An example is<br>SEND<br>MORE<br>&#8212;&#8211; +<br>MONEY<br>which, if the letters are replaced by the correct digits, forms a correct addition.</p>
<p>A special class are the &#8220;double true&#8221; alphametics. THese are the puzzles I want to have a look at in this post.<br>1) I listed one <a href="https://justpuzzles.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/cryptarithms-2/">before</a>:<br>THREE<br>FIVE<br>FIVE<br>SEVEN<br>TEN<br>&#8212;&#8212;+<br>THIRTY</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.math.uni-bielefeld.de/~sillke/PUZZLES/ALPHAMETIC/alphametic-mike-keith.html#doub">university of Bieleveldt</a> has a nice list:<br>
2) SEVEN + SEVEN + SIX = TWENTY difficulty: 2<br>
3) EIGHT + EIGHT + TWO + ONE + ONE = TWENTY difficulty: 3<br>
4) ELEVEN + NINE + FIVE + FIVE = THIRTY<br>
5) NINE + SEVEN + SEVEN + SEVEN = THIRTY<br>
6) TEN + SEVEN + SEVEN + SEVEN + FOUR + FOUR + ONE = FORTY<br>
7) FOURTEEN + TEN + TEN + SEVEN = FORTYONE<br>
8) NINETEEN + THIRTEEN + THREE + TWO + TWO + ONE + ONE + ONE = FORTYTWO<br>
9) FORTY + TEN + TEN = SIXTY</p>
<p>This list is, however, not exhaustive. Here are a couple more:<br>
10) THREE + THREE + TWO + TWO + ONE = ELEVEN difficulty: 3<br>
11) ELEVEN + THREE + THREE + THREE = TWENTY difficulty: 4<br>
12) ELEVEN + THREE + THREE + ONE + ONE + ONE = TWENTY difficulty: 4<br>
13) SEVEN + THREE + THREE + TWO + TWO + ONE + ONE + ONE = TWENTY difficulty: 4<br>
14) SEVEN + FIVE + TWO + TWO + ONE + ONE + ONE + ONE = TWENTY difficulty: 3<br>
15) SEVEN + FIVE + TWO + TWO + TWO + ONE + ONE = TWENTY difficulty: 3</p>
<p>I feel there are a couple more lurking out there, but I hope to list more of them in a future post.</p>
<p>They exist in many languages, about a year ago I published some Dutch ones.&nbsp;</p>
