Cryptarithmetic Puzzles for 2023, Puzzle #24 CROWS + CROWS = MURDER

I have no idea how the phrase “murder of crows” came to be to express a group of crows. If you want to read more about this, here’s a link to PBS: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/a-murder-of-crows-crow-facts/5965/

This puzzle is interesting because the leftmost R matches. This is doable by hand, but could be tricky! Crows are pretty smart, so you’ll have to be too. CROWS + CROWS = MURDER

Solutions are below the image!
