We can use the [[
SubstitutedExpression]] solver from the enigma.py library to solve this puzzle.The following run file executes in 75ms. (Internal runtime of the generated code is 144µs).
Run: [ @replit ]
#! python3 -m enigma -rr SubstitutedExpression.split_sum # digits are non-zero --invalid="0,ABEJKMNOR" # O is a single-digit prime = {2, 3, 5, 7} --invalid="1|4|6|8|9,O" "NORMA + JEAN = BAKER" --answer="JAMBOREE"Solution: JAMBOREE = 94735611.
