NRICH Cryptarithms

Cryptarithms are mathematical puzzles where digits in sums are replaced with letters. Solvers must determine which digit each letter represents to solve the cryptarithms. The document presents several cryptarithms for the reader to solve, asking if any have multiple solutions. It also asks if it's possible to use each digit 1-9 once in an addition problem of three 3-digit numbers, and what the largest possible sum is. Answers are provided at an online link. More puzzles from the same source are recommended.
