Equation: GOD + EVE + EVIL = BIBLE. Each of the 8 unique letters (B, D, E, G, I, L, O, V) represents a different digit. Leading letters (G, E, B) cannot be zero.

G=9, O=2, D=3, E=8, V=4, I=0, L=7, B=1 → 923 + 848 + 8407 = 10178

Difficulty: medium · Category: addition · Unique letters: 8

This medium-level addition alphametic puzzle features 8 unique letters (B, D, E, G, I, L, O, V). In the equation GOD + EVE + EVIL = BIBLE, each letter maps to a distinct digit from 0 to 9. With only 8 of 10 digits used, 2 digits remain unused in the solution. The leading letters G and E and B cannot represent zero — this is your first constraint. This puzzle has 3 addends (GOD + EVE + EVIL), making carry analysis more complex. Start from the rightmost column and work left, tracking carries between columns.

This addition alphametic has 8 unique letters to determine.
Leading letters: G, E, B. None of these can be zero.
There are 8 unique letters, so 2 digits from 0–9 will not be used.
Start from the rightmost column (units place) and work left, tracking carries between columns.
With three addends, each column can produce a carry of at most 2.
A moderate number of letters means you'll need logical deduction alongside trial and error.
