Each has all 24 color permutations, plus a duplicate. Each Tile also has a letter (A-Y) on the back, and a reference to the Tangle that it occurs in. These letters appear to be for reference only. I have found no corresponddence between the letterings in one puzzle, and the letterings in another. I just use them as a convenience for recording configurations, and sorting through the tiles. ------ ccw@eql.caltech.edu (Chris Worrell)
