The Alphametics:
WED + TAB + PIN = X j k Y
and
DEW + BAT + NIP = Y k j X
..... when considered concurrently have 864 solutions.

In the totals X=1 and Y=2 or X=2 and Y=1, and j and k are distinct integers represented in the set of variables.

Why can X and Y never equate to W, T, P, D, B or N? The digits 0-9 are all available but there are no leading zeroes.

The problem as posed is correct!

The category stated was "Logic".

Charlie was not incorrect to suggest "both" when referencing "Why can X and Y never"

I'd be less than professional to berate further!
