# CITEMAHPLA Reverse Alphametic

Attempt at a Reverse Alphametic puzzle with a mathematically correct equation:

68053 + 2531 = 70584

Replace all the numbers with English letters (same number: same letter, so totally 9 separate letters used) and create a correct word equation.( A five letter word plus a four letter word equals a five letter word). The word equation must make logical sense.

Try these clues if you find it very hard

1 My answer involves 3 vowels and 6 consonants

2 The answer is something that can be enjoyable as well as bad

• Just to confirm: Your two "clues" are necessary requirements for finding the solution, is that correct? Also, in clue #2, when you say "the answer" could be enjoyable or bad, are you referring to one of the words, or all three words? Sep 14 '17 at 15:31

"Making logical sense" is ill-defined. Here are several options that sort of make sense.

GREAT+PATH=FEARS
CLAIM+TIME=FAILS
PLAIN+WINE=DAILY
GREAT+CATS=LEARN
OCEAN+WANT=BEACH
PERIL+FILM=CRIED
SLAIN+KING=DAILY
GREAT+MATH=LEARN (if not for the "3 vowels" thing, I'd say this is what you were looking for)
TRAIN+LINE=PEARS
DREAM+CAMP=TEARS
THOSE+USED=YOSHI

There are hundreds of others: just input fhjec beca gjehd into quipqiup. (After all, this is essentially a cryptogram with very little ciphertext, which makes it very difficult to solve except through pure luck.)

The likely answer you're looking for is either:

OCEAN + LAND = BEACH or OCEAN + SAND = BEACH.

I did exactly what Deusovi did. After scanning the screen for 3 vowel-phrases, I end up with:

PLAIN WINE DAILY.
3 Vowels, 6 consonants? - ✓
Makes sense- ✓ (sort of)
Enjoyable and bad - ✓ (Enjoyable in short run, bad in the long term)
