Letter tiles are sets of nine objects that are used to find the Flying Dutchman's lost treasures. They are featured in the console versions of the video game Revenge of the Flying Dutchman.

Description

Letter tiles are large blue square-shaped tiles with gold decorations on the edges. Each tile has a letter in the centre, which can be either an "S," "P," "O," "N," "G," "E," or "B." Each area in the game has a set of nine letter tiles and collecting them all spells SpongeBob's name.

As the French Narrator explains, each letter tile is a clue; after collecting all the clues the player has to solve a sliding tile puzzle in order to find the location of a treasure chest, which contains one of the Flying Dutchman's lost treasures.

Role in game

Letter tiles are rewards for completing certain tasks in an area, and all nine of them are needed to find the area's treasure. In total, 63 letter tiles need to be collected in order to complete the game.

Trivia

Downtown Bikini Bottom and Chum World are the only worlds where SpongeBob cannot collect all the letter tiles on his first visit, as some of them can only be collected after progressing through the game.
The last two tiles in a set are nearly always obtained by collecting a certain number of doubloons and jellyfish/insects. The one exception is Jellyfish Fields, which lacks the jellyfish-related letter tile.
