From my understanding the last time we tried to clarify the puzzle's rules, AC can never be used again in any group of 3 on any line. so AEC would not be allowed if ABC was already used
So if you had
ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO
as the first line, you can never use any of those letter combinations in a group of 3 again. So no AC, BC, or AB, no DE, DF, or EF etc. but you could use ADG once |
Peacegirl, is this the puzzle statement:
Arrange 7 identical groups of 15 unique letters in groups of 3 letters to produce 35 rows of three letters such that the first two letters in each row, irrespective of order, are not repeated in any other row of three. |
I don't know what you mean by 7 identical groups. It's 7 lines, 3 letters in each group and 5 groups in each line. So it's 35 groups of 3.
