PUZZLE #450: Question Quest

PUZZLE #450

QUESTION QUEST

It's my 450th puzzle! If you've been on this blog for a while, you may know that I like to do something special for every 50th puzzle on this site, usually in the form of new puzzle formats. This is true for this new format as well, since it's a combination of "Word Quest" (as seen in Penny Press magazines) and the fill-in-the-blank puzzles from the charades-based game show Body Language. You'll see what I mean when you read the directions in the next paragraph.

Below, there's a sentence with multiple blanks, and the words that fill in those blanks have been split apart and scattered throughout the grid. Your job is to locate the correct first letter for each word and then follow the given compass directions throughout the grid for each answer (So for example, "2W" means to move two spaces west). Each letter in the grid will be used exactly once. As a helpful tip, try to look at the directions for the following letters to see how far from the grid's top, bottom, or sides you must look. For instance, if the directions for a word's second letter are 5S, the first letter must be somewhere in the top two rows.

Once you've filled in all of the blanks and finished each word, read the finished sentence and solve the resulting clue for the FINAL ANSWER: a title

What __ __ __ __ __ __   __ __ __ __ __ __ __ from the

?? 2S 5W 2W 2N 5E 2N

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
