    As my code only found one, would you be so kind to publish two of yours.

      Sure. I'm guessing that I might have some doubles in my solution set, but I'm still working on that (and also trying to get the speed up a little).
      Edit: Hmm, after rereading the OP again, it dawns on me that the given set of letters has to be used completely (instead of partially, which is what I'm currently doing)...back to the drawing board :)
