Enigmarred
Below I have listed seven numbers, but I have coded them by consistently replacing digits with letters, with different letters used for different digits: CINEMA, ECZEMA, EMMA, ENEMA, ENIGMA, MAMMA, STIGMA. All but one of the seven numbers is divisible by 9.
Which word represents the number which is not divisible by 9?
