Step-by-step explanation:
What are cryptarithms?
Cryptarithms are puzzles where you are given an arithmetical expression where the digits have been replaced by letters, each digit a different letter.

CRYPTARITHM
Introduction -
- It is a problem that involves substituting letters for numbers and finding all possible combinations of digits and letters that produce a numerically correct answer.
- The earliest cryptographic algorithms were discovered in Ancient China, but they are thought to have been invented in the United States in 1864.
- Originally, many of these cryptarithms had a "Hindu" foundation.
Solving Cryptarithms -
- The same letter is substituted for identical digits, and different letters are substituted for different digits.
- The arithmetic expression resulting from replacing all letters with digits must be correct mathematically.
- There can never be a 0 before a number. For instance, 0321 is invalid.
- Problems must only ever have one solution unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Unless otherwise specified, each problem will be in base 10; that is, some or all of the 10 digits - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - will be replaced by the letters.
Types of Cryptarithms -
- Alphametic - An encoding method that uses a set of words as an additional sum or other mathematical problem. To make an arithmetic sum, replace each letter with a digit.
- Digimetic - In this, the digits are used to replace other digits.
- Skeletal Division - The division of a long number into symbols (mostly asterisks), thus forming a cryptarithm.
- Reverse Cryptarithm - It's a variant in which a formula is written and the result is the cryptarithm whose solution is the formula given.
Conclusion -
- Cryptarithmic puzzles are very old and their creator is obscure. An 1864 model in The American Agriculturist negates the famous thought that it was designed by Sam Loyd.
- The name "cryptarithm" was begotten by puzzlist Minos (nom de plume Simon Vatriquant) in the May 1931 issue of Sphinx, a Belgian magazine of sporting science, and was interpreted as "cryptarithmetic" by Maurice Kraitchik in 1942.
- In 1955, J. A. H. Tracker presented "alphametic" to assign cryptarithms, for example, Dudeney's, whose letters structure significant words or expressions.
