Heuristics for cryptarithm solution<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>Dear Ladies and
Gentlemen, <BR>I am currently working on a project in Prolog that is to solve
multiplication cryptarithms. Of course, in the normal case when
different letters represent different digits and vice versa, the solution may
be obtained quickly by simple brute force search. However, the idea of
the project is to solve the cryptarithm in more or less the way a human being
would, that is, <I>not</I> with brute force, but rather using
<I>heuristics</I> derived from humans experience. Could anybody be so
kind as to point out to me some existing work in the field and/or some useful
references?
<P>Thanks in advance, <BR>Felix Goldberg. </P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
