Closest to two dozens (Posted on 2024-04-24)

Remember “Unique and restricted” ? ,b (pid=13696)
There I have asked for a restricted answer to an alphametic puzzle and got a set of many words.

Now I have fiddled with a similar equation and again will allow only answers not using any of the letters appearing in “TWELVE”.

TWELVE + TWELVE = (Oompha, grubby, payoff, droppy ….et al)

Your task is to find an answer to my puzzle such that adding the numerical values of all 6 letters in the word chosen by you (a long list of candidate solutions) will be closest to 24.

Start your chase.
Good luck!

Nothing in your program guarantees UNIQUE SOLUTION,

I’be checked ABAVUS MIMOSA POPGUN ADAGIO - all of them resolve

i in two distinct RHS, one. with 24 as an answer, the other a different amount.

I found many qualifying for 23 or 25, none for 24.

I like your original approach, please assume that the answer lies in the 7-digit domain with extensive English vocabulary.

It seems totally impossible (for me) that 24 is out of reach

If there is an answer, You are bound to find it.

GOOD LUCk!
