AlphaQuation is a little diversion where linguistics meets math. Each letter has a unique numerical value which will generate a valid mathematical equation.

Consider:

CAT + OR = DOG

is equivalent to:

100C + 10A + T + 10O + R = 100D + 10O + G

which can be solved as:

392 + 18 = 410.

(These types of problems are also known as verbal arithmetic, alphametics, cryptarithm or word addition.)
