       It is easy to construct addition Cryptarithms where all of the words are the same length, provided that the length is from 5 to 7 letters. A few top experts can construct 8-letter Cryptarithms. The Contest Center likes to push the envelope. Here is a selection of Cryptarithms using only 10-letter words. (11 letters is presumably impossible. Check the end of this webpage for some samples.)
       Each puzzle is an addition in which the digits have been replaced (encoded) by letters. Your job is to reconstruct the addition by logic and trial. Some of the puzzles are quite easy. A few are fairly hard.
       Each letter always represent the same digit throughout a puzzle, so if A represents 5 in one place, it represents 5 everywhere. Of course, each puzzle uses a different representation (encoding).
