The way I read the rubric, I anticipated it would merely be a matter of shifting letters along the alphabet, but having got most of the solutions, I have all sorts of different letter-clashes ... maybe things will be clearer in the morning ...

Hi prospero, the "shift" may be different for each altered entry.

Good fun Mr H Soup...still can't fully parse 5D or 31A and stumped by 30A which must require to be deciphered, but there's no rush I suppose : )

I've just started. Hamish's reply has confused me. Is he referring to the first post (i.e., saying that the shift is indeed different for different clues) or to the second (saying that the change is even more devious)? And are the clues to be adjusted all across (bar one) or down (bar one)? The wrong responses are going to make me very depressed!

Blimey that was a struggle but satisfying, even though Soup's ears have probably been burning for the last couple of hours. Pendragon, you're on the right lines with the first part of your second sentence. And the answers to be adjusted are both acrosses and downs.

I'm merely devious, but not evil... However, I'm not going to give any hints; you'll need to solve some to see how it works.

Thanks, loge. I've managed to change one word into another, so I assume all changed words are also valid. But some of the others don't work so well!
