These are problems in which letter are substituted for numbers in long
division problems. The first type are fill-ins, these contain both letters
and numbers, in these, the letters are independent, so an F for example
could stand for a 2 in one place and a 4 in the other. The second type
contain only letters, in these the same letter will represent the same
number within the given puzzle. In both cases, the object is to replace
the letters with single digit numbers to result in a correct problem. A
good start with these puzzles are to locate 0’s and 1’s.
