-  - The solution is a mutually unique assignement of digits and letters. The same letters always represent the same digits, different letters must represent different digits. E.g. if you decide that letter ''​P''​ represents digit ''​6'',​ you have to substitute this digit for all the ''​P''​s in the equation, and also no other letter can represent digit ''​6''​. 
-  - The first letters of all "​words"​ (including single-character "​words"​) cannot represent digit 0, since we usually do not write the initial zeros.

(In the first example above, neither ''​A'',​ nor ''​B''​ can be 0. In the second example, no character can be zero, since all are part of single-character words.)
  
 Published character equations usually have only a single solution. In general (and in this task in particular),​ this feature is not always fulfilled. We would like to find all possible solutions. Published character equations usually have only a single solution. In general (and in this task in particular),​ this feature is not always fulfilled.
