There is only one 6-digit number enabling this beautiful shifting of the partial products:

mmmmmWINTER 
       *ICY
mmmmmWINTER
mmmmRWINTE
mmmERWINT  
mmmTHERWWWR

What digit is not used in the multiplication above?

I still think it would be better if $ were replaced with O, but O well.

This was a great problem though; one can reason out the numbers, and eventually use the multiplication at the top to eliminate the choices further.
