Sunday Times Teaser 2876 – Bonfire Toffee

Published November 5 2017 (link)

In this subtraction sum I have consistently replaced digits with letters, different letters being used for different digits:

BONFIRE – TOFFEE = TREATS

Please send in the number of ENTRIES.

My Aphametic sum solver makes this sort of teaser easy:

Python

from alphasum import AlphaSum AlphaSum(['TOFFEE', 'TREATS'], 'BONFIRE').go(sol='ENTRIES')

from alphasum import AlphaSum

AlphaSum(['TOFFEE', 'TREATS'], 'BONFIRE').go(sol='ENTRIES')
