Each of the following five-by-five arrays contains five words. The words can be easily read when the arrays are shifted according to the serpentine pattern as shown in the background image or in the gallery below. The number of positions (Sn) by which the array needs to be shifted is for you to determine. One of words in each array will not quite match the others in that array and is to be used with the Sn value to derive a portion of the final coordinates. In the equations below, the subscripted W refers to ordinal value of the specific letter of the mismatched word; e.g. W1 is the first letter.
If you're a competitive Scrabble player or someone with programming skills then you should lower the difficulty by one star. If this is too difficult for you then I'd recommend taking a look at Sliders.
