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!

For some time we should wait for 24.

I have many entries with 23 and 25, but hope to get 24.

I try to solve it with no software, choosing some patterns but so far I rely more on people improving their programs.

Stay well.
