A cryptarithm is a type of mathematical puzzle in which the digits in an

arithmetic equation are replaced by letters or symbols. The goal is to determine

the original digits that make the equation true, adhering to specific rules—

typically, each letter represents a unique digit, and no digit is represented by

more than one letter. These puzzles often involve basic operations like addition,

subtraction, multiplication, or division, challenging logical reasoning, and

numerical skills.

The term "cryptarithm" is derived from two words: "crypt—" meaning hidden,

and "arithm—" relating to numbers or arithmetic. It was first coined in the early

20th century to describe puzzles that combine elements of cryptography and

arithmetic.

One of the earliest known examples of a cryptarithm dates back to the early

1900s. However, the concept gained popularity in 1924 when Alfred Butts, the

inventor of the board game Scrabble, included cryptarithms in newspapers to

entertain readers. Later, Dudeney and Martin Gardner, both well-known for

their work in recreational mathematics, brought widespread attention to

cryptarithms through their puzzles published in books and magazines.

One of the most famous cryptarithms is the classic:

In this puzzle, each letter represents a unique digit, and the task is to assign

digits so that the sum is mathematically correct.

Over time, cryptarithms have evolved into a valuable tool for education and

entertainment, helping people develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking,

and number sense. They are still featured in puzzle books, math competitions,

and digital games today.
