Alphametics: What they are and how you get them

Alphametics, viseopoetics, I don't even know if I'm typing this right.

Do you know what these are? I don't entirely understand them, but I know someone who does.

But what's the gist? Oh right, alphmetics. These are word games. And math. Or math. Kind of. But not Sudoku.

Where do you find them? Katelyn Sack runs a Friday contest over at her wonderfully rich site. Go there. Solve them. Feel free to leave me the answers as well.

Here's one from a few weeks ago.

VIOLENCE
+ SILENCE

PEACE

"Assume base 10. Go figure."

Go here for another one. And/or here.

Incidentally: Katelyn is an artist. The image at the top of this post is hers. Lots more over at her site.
