I wondered if you were working to assure there is only one solution; from today's puzzle I see not, since I found "another."
It would be great to be able to start over.
It would be great to keep track of how many distinct solutions you have found.
It would be great to know how many solutions there are.

In a perfect world there would be just one solution per puzzle, agreed. But the pool of possible puzzles would be so much smaller.

Agreed, I think I'll add a "reset" feature that puts all of the tiles back in their starting positions (and allows replay if the puzzle is already solved).

Something like "you've found X of Y possible solutions", perhaps? Not a bad idea.
Yeah, I figured that restricting to puzzles with only one solution would be a significant constraint; I'm not advocating for it.
