I tried sliding blocks of letters to make a 10x10 with no blanks, e.g., sliding the 3 across entries in the NW one place to the right. (It's easy to do if you copy and paste the grid into Paint. But that proved impossible because of the central black square, I should have seen that problem right away. Instead, I kept at it as though it were a sliding-block puzzle like Klotski.
