The puzzle is almost as complicated as the preamble is convoluted!

When you select the clashing letters work from the centre out for the top left string, then ditto top right, ditto bottom right, ditto bottom left (4 letters each time). This should help you get the theme (3 words in all T?? W??????? G????).

I enjoyed EV - much more straightforward than this IQ (even with what looks like an error in 4dn.).
