Cryptarithm Uniqueness 9A73Ad


1. The problem is to determine if the cryptarithm SEND + MORE = MONEY has only one solution. 2. Cryptarithms like SEND + MORE = MONEY are designed so that each letter represents a unique digit and the sum holds true. 3. The solution found previously is: $$S=9, E=5, N=6, D=7, M=1, O=0, R=8, Y=2$$ 4. Due to the constraints (unique digits, leading digits not zero, and the sum structure), this cryptarithm has a unique solution. 5. This uniqueness is a known fact in classic cryptarithm puzzles; no other digit assignments satisfy the equation. Final answer: There is only one solution to the cryptarithm SEND + MORE = MONEY, which is the one given above.
