Newsless Alphametics (Posted on 2009-04-15) Difficulty: 2 of 5
x, y and z (in this order), with x < y < z, are three positive integers in arithmetic sequence that satisfy this set of alphametic equations.

y4 - x4 = NEWS, and

z4 - y4 = LESS.

where, each of the capital letters in bold represents a different decimal (base 10) digit from 0 to 9.

Determine all possible value(s) of the triplet (x, y, z).

What are the possible four digit number(s) that represent WELL?

Note: Neither L nor N is zero.
