Solve 10 Wording Digit Puzzles

Try to understand what a Wording Digit Puzzle (WDP) is and then solve the following 10 puzzles.
Example: Difficulty or failure in the alimentary canal in changing food into absorptive nutriment:
1591997520941414


Solution:
Step 1. Consider the digit(s) for each letter that is as the same of the order of the letter in English alphabet; i.e., a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, e = 5, … , y = 25, and z = 26.
Step 2. Try to find out some letters that can be inferred directly from the given number: 1591997520941414.
In this number, 1591997520941414, the first ‘nine’ leads to an ‘i’ because:
a) in 1591997520941414, 59 is a number that is not assigned to any letter, numbers of letters are from 1 to 26 for ‘a’ to ‘z’.
b) in 1591997520941414, 91 is a number that is not assigned to any letter,
so one of the letters of the answer is ‘i’.
Again, the third ‘nine’ leads to an ‘i’ because:
a) in 1591997520941414, 99 is greater than 26 and cannot be assigned to any letter,
b) in 1591997520941414, 97 is greater than 26 too and cannot be assigned to any letter.
Based on the above logic, find more letters of the solution as many as possible.
Step 3. Try to find some logical hints; e.g., as the first ‘nine’ in 1591997520941414 is for an ‘i', then the first two digits, 1591997520941414 should lead to:
1 and 5 leading to ‘a’ and ‘e’
Or
15 leading to an ‘o’.
4. By some letters and some other complex hints which you found, refer to the clue: “Difficulty or failure in the alimentary canal in changing food into absorptive nutriment” and find the answer that is indigestion:
9,14,4,9,7,5,19,20,9,15,14 - indigestion
