A really tough but enjoyable challenge. Probably my favourite of the year so far.
I really, really want to shade two of the corner letters but I don’t think the preamble asks me to do that.
I don’t submit so I am going to shade them for my own sense of completeness - but would it be judged as incorrect if I did submit it.

Smithsax - shading the corners would be marked incorrect as they don’t relate to the thematic group of letters that you have shaded

I would say you haven't shown 'the world' until you've shaded them (and two of them are 'corners', after all).

...obviously all of them are 'corners', and should, therefore, belong to the whole.

granam1 - don't give up on IQ. It's nothing like as hard as it looks at first sight, and I solved a lot of the clues without needing to move letters. The def is often enough, and the letter-move merely confirms.

Cookie, re the Inquisitor. I relented and did it. 👍

Can I get help with 2d (in Listener)? Really can't get going on this. But finished IQ pretty quickly!

First two words are the definition. School is to be found in the ocean, miners...think Arthur Scargill.

(There's a misprint).

Thank you!

Gitto (@56) I can’t agree with your self-assessment but I heartily share your admiration for the construction. Brilliant work by Raven.
