Alphametics and Cryptarithms
Alphametic puzzles (also called cryptarithms) are arithmetic problems which involve words where each letter stands for unique digit that makes the arithmetic equation true. For instance, this is one of the famous equations. Can you solve it?

Another example of alphametic puzzles (cryptarithms) goes as follows:
ALFA + BETA + GAMA = DELTA
5795 + 6435 + 2505 = 14735
or
5305 + 2475 + 6595 = 14375
In the following algebra puzzles , replace the same characters by the same numerals so that the mathematical operations are correct.
ABCB - DEFC = GAFB
: + -
DH x AB = IEI
-------------------
GGE + DEBB = DHDG
The same rules apply in this algebra puzzle as well - each letter stands for a unique digit.
IFIB - EBG = CEH
- - +
CCE / GD = FE
-----------------
EFF + EED = CBA
Can you find digits that make equations true in the following alphametic puzzles (cryptarithms)?
RE + MI = FA

40 + 16 = 56
93 + 16 = 109
SEVEN + SEVEN + SIX = TWENTY

DVA * DVA = STYRI
D + V + A + D + V + A = S + T + Y + R + I
209 * 209 = 43681
2 + 0 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 9 = 4 + 3 + 6 + 8 + 1
(AA)B = ABBA
ABC + DEF = GHIJ
437 + 589 = 1026
or
743 + 859 = 1602
ABC x DEF = 123 456, if A = 1
ABCD*D = DCBA
ABCD*E = DCBA
ABCDEF*3 = BCDEFA
285714*3 = 857142
or
142857*3 = 428571
