Hello! Today's puzzle is a Letter Weights. Have fun!

Rules: Write a number under each letter (in each cell) so that the numbers corresponding to the letters in each given word have the given sum. Different letters must have different numbers. The list of allowed numbers is given in a row underneath the cells.

Here's a little GAPP 101: Extreme sums (very large, or very small) can often give you a lot of information, e.g. the 14 clue is maximal in the example.
