Equation: ITS + A + GREAT = STORE. Each of the 8 unique letters (A, E, G, I, O, R, S, T) represents a different digit. Leading letters (I, A, G, S) cannot be zero.

I=7, T=0, S=6, A=8, G=5, R=9, E=4, O=1 → 706 + 8 + 59480 = 60194

ITS + A + GREAT = STORE

What is this puzzle?

Solve the addition alphametic puzzle where ITS + A + GREAT = STORE. Each letter represents a unique digit from 0-9. No number starts with zero.

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

This medium-level addition alphametic puzzle features 8 unique letters (A, E, G, I, O, R, S, T). In the equation ITS + A + GREAT = STORE, 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 I and A and G and S cannot represent zero — this is your first constraint. This puzzle has 3 addends (ITS + A + GREAT), 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: I, A, G, S. 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.
