Steve,

the puzzle does not imply a single solution but actually asks you to code a certain EXTRAORDINAry ( EXTRAORDINAIRE) word complying with the solution of the alphametic equation.

I consider it one of my best puzzles and getting a "2" rating after the release of a major hint  makes me feel worse than no getting comments at all.

IMHO , it was possible to solve it IN+NO+TI+ME  just by assuming a  -TION  ending of the 1st sample word.
