Are the tiles engraved or are the characters painted onto the tiles?

The tiles are engraved, so if you run your finger across the surface you will "feel" the graphic. This is a much higher quality than painted tiles.

They were engraved on the frame. It didn't look or feel cheap. I was surprised at the quality of them and how good it looked

They look like a very high quality sticker. In fact, I assumed it was engraved until I just took a close look at them. We've been very happy with it.

I'm not sure I just ordered the book I didn't notice if it could be engraved sorry :(

No- they are completely plain with no writing or engraved labels. Hope this helps!

The tiles are all white with green, red and black characters. Very nice set.

They are just like the Scrabble game pieces. They have the letters and to the bottom right they have numbers. Have a Great day!!

Hi, June! My project was delayed, so tiles are still in bags. I just checked, and yes, the letters and the little numbers are both very slightly indented into the wood.

They are ceramic very durable. I have bought sets for 3 of my grandchildren, two sets for me, and a set for a senior center. Of course of different denominations. I like the 12 tile count but some prefer the 9 for a shorter game. I love this game and bought the plastic trains for markers.

No it does not. It is just the tile (which we used for a craft project) they are the newer version of tiles (bold, block letters) not the "vintage" tiles like the Scrabble game we've had for years

Yes they are engraved and looks just like one. Its fairly close I lived there so I have a real one and this was for a friend but it looks good

The two I ordered appear to be engraved. At any rate, the printing is nice and deep, so it won't rub off for a very long time, if ever.

No there is no writing on it at all. Just pretty designs on the side like the front. I love my set!

I used my tap & die set today & some of them are stamped on & some are laser etched. When I answered the other day I took a quick look at one & it was etched, & assumed that they all were, but some are clearly embossed. For some reason my set has both, & I can't figure out any reason for it.

Although I can only offer an opinion as I don't know this for a fact but I do not believe these keys are etched. My old standby was etched and just died like 6 months ago. It was still as nice with all the characters crisp and clear as when I plugged it in for the first time. I did not realize how rare this was until I saw other boards much newer than my old one that looked 4 times older with shiny blank or chipped character keys. Sorry I could not be more help with a definitive answer. I can tell you so far, the print is fine but it has only been 7 months max.

I have had these type of puzzles for years. I still had some from at least 15 years ago. It is impossible for me to tell whether they are stickers with some type of laquer over the topor if they are painted on. All I can tell you is that I have never had them peel or get worn looking. These puzzles are very nice quality and I can atest to the fact that they do last for many years. I hope this helps you.

The numbers on the blocks are painted on. This toy is very good quality and the children love it.
