Brute force solving (sort of)
Assumptions are that all letters represent different numbers and standard notation is used (the first number in a string is not zero)
V must be either 0 (if D+E < 10) or 9 (if D+E > 9)
If V is 0 then I is 5; if V is 9 then I is 4
For either value of V, R must be either 2 or 7; but R can't be 2 since that would require both T and D to be 1
So R is 7
Then T+D = 6 I tried the 4 possibilities and the only one that worked is the form that I gave above.
