The letters of TALES have been added to the grid to form six words, one being a lingual import into English.

L	E	A	S	T
S	L	A	T	E
S	T	A	L	E
S	T	E	A	L
T	A	E	L	S
T	A	L	E	S

Assign a base 10 digit to each of the letters in the grid to create an alphametic so that each row but one forms a 5-digit prime number.

This situation can occur in three ways, and logic should prevail.

(In reply to Tales revisited by Ady TZIDON)

I have no issue with revisits.

Charlie has flawed my initial premise which you and I think rod hines had me rethink, and I still 'mucked up'!  Sorry!

Dej Mar asks Charlie a question as an aside, but of relevance to this.

I accept your "humble contribution".  It's late at night as I see this.  It's late!  Maybe someone will solve Dej Mar's issue and your's before I see daylight.

Bon Soir and

Arigatou for the appendix!
