I'm not sure what the explanation is for why the certain letters have certain values, but I followed basically a find and replace tool to find the solution.

I am certain there is a better way to do this.  The brute-force method was generating too many rows for me to properly consider, though.  Maybe a macro, but I did not  want to write one, and the different number positions cause issues.

See images and attached workflow packaged. Basically I brute forced this challenge and my work leaves something to be desired with respect to performance. I shan't undertake the verbal arithmetic of SO+MANY+MORE+MEN+SEEM+TO+SAY+THAT+THEY+MAY+SOON+TRY+TO+STAY+AT+HOME+SO+AS+TO+SEE+OR+HEAR+THE+SAME+ONE+

MAN+TRY+TO+MEET+THE+TEAM+ON+THE+MOON+AS+HE+HAS+AT+THE+OTHER+TEN=TESTS and figure out that the answer is that MANYOTHERS=2764195083

Definitely one of the most challenging ones I've done. 

My approach for this one is very brute force and not very dynamic.
