Googol & Googolplex are also rules out (double O)
everything over 10^6 ends in "...llion" so is rules out due to double L
1st Rule out numbers that can't be used anywhere (self contain double - so can always be skipped)
~ 13-19 = double E
~ twelve = double E
~ eleven = double E
~ nine = N
~ seven = E
~ three = E
work on the powers of 10 in decreasing order
10^5 = hundred thousand --> multiple D's
10^4 = ten thousand --> need to check other multiples of 10 (ie 64,000 or 12,000)
~ (20 to 99) all multiples of 10 contain "ty" at the end - so would have a double T (....ty thousand),
~ 10 = T
10^3 = thousand
~ eight thousand = T
~ six thousand = S
~ five thousand = SOLUTION !!!
