Each letter represents a distinct digit from 1 to 9.
The number at the end of a row and a column indicate the sum of the numbers in that row or column.

What is the 5 digit number T O W E R \overline{TOWER} ?


The answer is 21346.

Since we have distinct digits, let's focus on the low sums as they restrict the possibilities.
From T + W + O = 6 T + W + O = 6 , we know that { T , W , O } = { 1 , 2 , 3 } \{ T, W, O \} = \{ 1, 2, 3 \} .
From T + O + E = 7 T + O + E = 7 , we know that { T , O , E } = { 1 , 2 , 4 } \{ T, O, E \} = \{ 1, 2, 4 \} . Hence W = 3 , E = 4 W = 3, E = 4 and { T , O } = { 1 , 2 } \{ T, O \} = \{ 1, 2 \} .
From E + Y + E = 17 E + Y + E = 17 , we get that Y = 9 Y = 9 .
From W + A + Y = 17 W + A + Y = 17 , we get that A = 5 A = 5 .
From O + R + E = 11 O + R + E = 11 , we get that O + R = 7 O + R = 7 . If O = 2 O = 2 then R = 5 R = 5 which is not possible since A = 5 A = 5 . Thus O = 1 O = 1 , R = 6 R = 6 , T = 2 T = 2 .


We have T O W E R = 21346 \overline{TOWER} = 21346 .
