What is this puzzle?
Solve the addition alphametic puzzle where WHERE + IS + THE = TRUTH. 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 (E, H, I, R, S, T, U, W). In the equation WHERE + IS + THE = TRUTH, 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 W and I and T cannot represent zero — this is your first constraint. This puzzle has 3 addends (WHERE + IS + THE), 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: W, I, T. 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.
