Eu já fiz um trabalho generalizado aritmética verbal solucionador em Prolog, mas é muito lento. Leva apenas 8 minutos para executar a expressão simples S E N D + M O R E = M O N E Y. Alguém pode me ajudar a fazê-lo funcionar mais rápido?

/* verbalArithmetic(List,Word1,Word2,Word3) where List is the list of all 
possible letters in the words. The SEND+MORE = MONEY expression would then
be represented as
  verbalArithmetic([S,E,N,D,M,O,R,Y],[S,E,N,D],[M,O,R,E],[M,O,N,E,Y]). */

validDigit(X) :- member(X,[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]).
validStart(X) :- member(X,[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]).
assign([H|[]]) :- validDigit(H).         
assign([H|Tail]) :- validDigit(H), assign(Tail), fd_all_different([H|Tail]).

findTail(List,H,T) :- append(H,[T],List).

convert([T],T) :- validDigit(T).
convert(List,Num) :- findTail(List,H,T), convert(H,HDigit), Num is (HDigit*10+T).

verbalArithmetic(WordList,[H1|Tail1],[H2|Tail2],Word3) :- 
    validStart(H1), validStart(H2), assign(WordList), 
    convert([H1|Tail1],Num1),convert([H2|Tail2],Num2), convert(Word3,Num3), 
    Sum is Num1+Num2, Num3 = Sum.
