Reversing the digits and subtracting reminds me of your recent puzzle.

And lo, revisiting that thread, I see you spelled out, 7641 - 1467 = 6174

a = 7, n = 6, t = 4, e = 1

Was that intentional?

Spoiler...

It's a bit easier to think about this if we turn it into the addition:

bcd   
NEAT  
ETNA +
----  
ANTE

in which c, d and e are the carries between the columns, each equal to 0 or 1. The individual column sums are then:

b+N+E = A
c+E+T = N+10b
d+A+N = T+10c
T+A = E+10d

Adding the first and last of those together gives b+N+E+T+A = A+E+10d, or b+N+T = 10d. Since b >= 0, N >= 0, T >= 0 and N and T differ, that implies that 10d > 0, so d=1 and b+N+T = 10, or N = 10-T-b.

Substituting N = 10-T-b in the second of them gives c+E+T = 10-T+9b, or E = 10-2T+9b-c.

Substituting E = 10-2T+9b-c and d=1 in the last of them gives T+A = 10-2T+9b-c+10, or A = 20-3T+9b-c.

Substituting d=1, A = 20-3T+9b-c and N = 10-T-b in the third of them gives 31-4T+8b-c = T+10c, or 31+8b-11c = 5T. Since b and c must each be 0 or 1, that gives 5T = 20, 28, 31 or 39, among which only 20 is a multiple of 5. So 5T = 20, b=0 and c=1, and it follows that T = 4, N = 10-T-b = 6, E = 10-2T+9b-c = 1 and A = 20-3T+9b-c = 7:

Well solved both.

It was a coincidence, actually. But 6174 is my favourite number.
