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!

The code lists arithmetic solutions that fill the pattern uniquely:
for n = 100000:999999
n2=2*n;
p=pttrn([num2str(n) num2str(n2)]);
if ismember(p,goodPats)
disp([n n2 sod(n2)])
end
end
The list of additions that have unique patterns:

I don't know where your sod of 25 came from. Perhaps it's from the solution where TWELVE = 451861 and the new word evaluates to 903722. In that, it's TWELVE that has the sod of 25.
Here's a table that includes the sod(TWELVE)
