Closest to two dozens (Posted on 2024-04-24) Difficulty: 3 of 5
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!

No k in the other word. 

That means you never considered all letters   being distinct?  
Maybe one needs a bigger data base?
