attempt: unique but not the one sought... by Steven Lord)
Hi,
I thank you for the credit and for the effort in your trial.
You are on the right track and there are no errors in my post.
However it might be that it is easier to create a puzzle like this than to solve it.
You were right that “idealistic” is a product of two 5-letter words
out of (drink, based, Incas, pisco, lemon, juice, tonic and water) leading to 28 possible equations, and you deserve a hint to shorten the path to solution.
HINT: one of the A, B words is “Incas” & the other is neither “lemon“ nor “Juice” since “m”, “u” were not replaced by a digit in “idealistic”.
Now you have only 5 possible candidates and probably less than 5 trials to reach the final “wise” statement.
Wish you happy ending of your solution.
