The eighth cup of coffee will help you to digest your dinner.

Each of the bolded words can serve as a product in the following alphametic:

READY*GO=<product>,

providing 3 distinct solutions i.e. one unique decoding for each bold word

Which of the three represents the highest result?

ready*go=digest
gives:y=5,o=6,t =0, r=2,e=1, a=3, d=9, g=4, i=8, s=7
so that: digest = 984170

ready*go=coffee
gives : y=4, o=3, e=2, r=1, a=0, d=7, g=5, c=6, f=9
so that: coffee = 639922

ready*go=eighth
gives: y=9, o=3, h=7, r=4, e=6, a=2, d=8, g=1, i=0, t=5
so that: eighth = 601757

Accordingly, digest gives the highest result.
