WebMath: Heuristics for cryptarithm solution

[Monty Coward]

Greetings,

I think that there is some work being done on it at the University of
Paderborn, in Germany.  I cannot recall if this is the correct
University ... but maybe give it a try.  If I am incorrect, I apologise
for the misleading information.

Yours,

Lewis M Coward
