cryptarithmn.

Brit.

/ˈkrɪptəˌrɪð(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈkrɪptəˌrɪðəm/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: crypto- comb. form, Greek ἀριθμός.

Etymology: < crypto- comb. form + Greek ἀριθμός number, after either cryptarithmetic n. or French cryptarithmie (see cryptarithmetic n.). With the formation perhaps compare logarithm n.

Mathematics.

A mathematical puzzle in which an arithmetical proposition is expressed in letters, each letter standing for one of the ten digits, the task being to find what digit each letter stands for. Also called an alphametic.

1943 M. Kraitchik Math. Recreations iii. 80 A ‘cryptarithm’ is, then, an arithmetical operation..in which the digits have been replaced by letters or other symbols, and one is challenged to find the original numbers.

1975 Sci. Amer. (U.K. ed.) Oct. 118/3 The only solution to Alan Wayne's remarkable cryptarithm, six + six + six = nine + nine, is 942 + 942 + 942 = 1413 +1413.

1984 T. Augarde Oxf. Guide Word Games xiv. 124 Cryptarithms include not only problems of addition and multiplication, but also subtraction and division.
