yes looking back over the clues every moved letter created and left a real word so i think you are correct cruciverbalist

Well done for starting a new thread!
All that irrelevance aside, I'm very impressed with this puzzle so far. Really enjoyed the clues and, having stared blankly at the finished grid for a while, I had a moment and think I know what the overall theme is, what generally needs to happen and what will eventually need to be highlighted. Am unsure on the exact nature of the movements though.

Wow ... well done those of you who beat me to it.
I had to wrestle with this one a bit, then having finished took a look over here - what on earth happened on that original thread? Very good move jumping ship and starting a fresh bicker-free one.
A thorouhly enjoyable puzzle ... I must say, if it had ended up with a grid full of still-sensible words after all that shifting, it would surely have ranked one of the most elegant puzzles ever crafted!
Stick with it Gazco, seems you're very nearly there .. and if you have an idea of what needs to be finally highlighted, the location of a few odd letters in the pre-move contents of the grid may also give you an inkling as to what moves where.

Thank goodness for a bit of sanity and civilised debate here. Having finished the puzzle at the weekend I did wonder about some of the resulting entries, but I guess cluelessJoe is right - a grid in which real words resulted after all those movements would be impossible to achieve (BTW, thanks for your comment on the other thread, cluelessJoe). It might be possible with an assymetric grid, but I wouldn't like to try.
In the course of making the movements (and deciding exactly where to place them) I noticed that a key name began to emerge, which sidetracked me briefly.
A good puzzle - novel theme, some lovely clues and discoveries to be made at the end, thus sustaining ones interest throughout.

Well, I thought I knew what was going on here (and am still fairly sure I know how this needs to finish ultimately), but the movement of answers has frustratingly got the better of me. Am not even convinced I know which 5 words to move now. Hey ho, am new to this game, so am moe than happy to concede defeat.
