Hey Kev, I suspect someone is pulling a fast one on you. Unless I'm missing something, the solution you seek is impossible.

"On another forum I visit…"

Oh, what shame, moonlighting. If you want to know the answer, A2K is the only place.
Remember A2K rules KO. (sorry, I am dyslectic) OK!

"…the solution you seek is impossible."

When all the possibilities have been eliminated, what ever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the answer. (With apologies to Sherlock Holmes).

"one of the words below so that all the words are in an alphabetical sequence"

Move ?'below' it is in alphabetical sequence. Very Happy

WHAT?

It would appear that our lines of communication have broken down. I of cause immediately blamed you for this ?'blip' and sought independent confirmation of this fact.
To my utter amazement, this confirmation was sadly not forthcoming; therefore, the fault must rest with me.

I will thus try again to explain my answer.

Q. "move the position of just one of the words below so that all the words are in an alphabetical sequence."

A. "move the position of just one of the words so that all the words BELOW are in an alphabetical sequence."

Note: The word ?'below' is in alphabetical sequence. I.e. a B cd E fghijk L mn O pqrstuv W xyz. The answer is the Q. with the word ?'below' moved. The other words do not matter.

I hope that makes the position clear, if not blame my doctor for reducing my medication. Drunk
