Try with Permutations[{a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b}] Then we should get a list of all variants If we check Length[Permutations[{a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b}]] we obtain 12870 so that seems OK.

Is there a command that will generate all 12870 arrangements one at a time without duplication? Any order is acceptable. I used RandomSample[Range[16]] to select a random permutation of sixteen different symbols. Assigning the letter A to the first eight numbers in the random permutation and the letter B to the last eight letters in the permutation created a randomly selected arrangement. Awkward, but it works because Binomial[2n,n](n!)(n!)=(2n)!). John
