Alphametics Hint

Dear children,

As you work on your enrichment puzzles worksheets, some of you may find the famous puzzle a little too challenging to solve. So here are some hints for you:

M can only be equal to 1. Do you know why?

Hint: E = 5, S = 9.

The remaining letters can now be easily solved if you work slowly by adding the thousands together, and solve for the letters in the thousands place, followed by the hundreds place, then the ones place.

You can do it through simple logical thinking if you do not give up!

Regards,
Miss Chan
