Talk:For Want of a Clue, Part 2/@comment-35774517-20180626033946

It looks like you can partition the vellum strips into two sets: one with left hand side edge pattern that looks like strip a and one that has left hand side strip pattern look like strip b, which is the same as a upside down. The strips have various parts of the pattern marred out or removed, but they seem to make a set of 12 like b and 40 like a. The b ones appear to be I t B V u L e F b Y j p and H.

p is questionable as there is not any of the left edge line remaining.
