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.
