Puzzlerium tour: TomTom (Cipher)

The crisis underway can arguably be compared to the horrific pandemic of the last two years. Even if not, it could be a precursor to a much larger humanitarian disaster that might show up in the form of another pandemic resulting from an unprecedented exodus, not to mention an ecomonic meltdown. It is incredibly disconcerting to know that civilians, foreigners, expats, children and the elderly are taking up arms to try and stop the carnage. While a fleet of potential solutions are there to help end the Ukraine conflict - and none of them have actually made any difference - I, meanwhile, contend that nothing brings people together better than Sport can. If one can champion the cause of peace, sanity and freedom through common interest, why not? 



Theme: Peace And Order 

Rules: Each different letter represents a different number from 0 to 9 (leading zeroes in two-digit numbers are not allowed) and same letters represent the same number. Find the correct match for each letter to then solve the TomTom puzzle:

Fill in the square grid of side N, with digits 1 to N, one digit per cell, so that each digit appears exactly once in each row and column. The clue in each outlined cage indicates the result of a mathematical operation applied successively to each of the digits in the cage, starting from the largest to the smallest for division and subtraction. The operation may or may not be given in the cage, but at least one of the four operations must apply. Digits can repeat within a cage.
