Are you only thinking of the equation a + b = c? Maybe in this case it is limited, but if we try anything like a + b + c = d, then it might be quite a large list to check, no?

According to the website below, there are 5,454 four letter words, 12,478 five letter words and 22,157 six letter words (assuming one stops at six letter words).

If we allow well known names (sports stars, movie stars, presidents etc) then this list might become very large.

Sure, there are lots but I think it should be doable. Will probably try sometime. Easiest is to make a model that fixes the lengths of the words, and just run it for different word lengths.

As a comparison, see this model solving crosswords using constraint programming. https://github.com/Gecode/gecode/blob/develop/examples/cross...
