At first, when I looked at these, I thought that you could just put in any numbers and they would be really easy - but when you actually look at them, you find that they are actually far harder than you might expect. After you come to this conclusion, you may just give up - but don't! It is really satisfying when you get one right and it gives thou the confidence to carry on. I personally found number six particularly difficult, because there were two numbers that were the same that you had to add up. I'm not really sure why I found this one harder than the rest, but I think it was probably just not really what I was expecting. My tip for anyone trying these cryptarithms is that you have to think outside the box. You have to look at it and think "does it need to make a number higher than ten or not?" You sort of have to think outside the box and always consider that there could be a zero in there too. I assure you that for each of them there will be another solution apart from that they are all zeros. Good luck!
