A universal cycle for permutations is a word of length n! such that each of
the n! possible relative orders of n distinct integers occurs as a cyclic
interval of the word. We show how to construct such a universal cycle in which
only n+1 distinct integers are used. This is best possible and proves a
conjecture of Chung, Diaconis and Graham.
