The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but the cache is within 2 miles of the coordinates and can be driven to.  Solve the puzzle below to get the coordinates for the cache. I love word and number puzzles. This is part of a series of puzzle caches.  Note: the final easy to find, but it is in a high muggle area.

This puzzle is a Word Scramble.  Unscramble the words below.  Once unscrambled, put the letter corresponding to the number below it in the appropriate place in the puzzle key.

For example, in this scramble:


OIMVE   __ __ __ __ __
               40

…the word is MOVIE.  Since the letter V corresponds to the number 40, you would put the letter V on the line above the number 40 in the key.

Once you solve the key, you will have the coordinates.

Please note, I made this puzzle extra hard on purpose.  All of the scrambled words have multiple solutions.  Some will work in the key, and some will not.  The key itself has a little bit of a twist as well.

Assume that the North coordinates begin with N38 4.
Assume that the West coordinates begin with W104 4.

FIRST TO FIND will receive an unactivated trackable.

Enjoy!

I have no clue how long ago my father solved this puzzle for me but I finally got down south here to make the find.

This one is proving more challenging than expected. No, it's as challenging as expected. I'm attempting a brute force solution and that is taking so much extra time. Especially with so many (could be) twists and turns. I'm chasing my own tail a bit! I hope to let this one simmer for a while before circling back to it.

Picked this one up after running an errand.

I loved this puzzle. I had fun trying to figure out which word I might need on the first try. I didn't always succeed but by using some other sources, I was able to put it together. This was such a clever variation of a word puzzle. Who knew there were that many words with the same letters. We found it on the way back to where we were staying after touring Garden of the Gods.

21:14. Enjoyed this puzzle; so I wanted to make sure I collected it before leaving town. Signed in under Hives, even though it did seem to be in an arbitrarily random spot on the logsheet.

In the area on some errands so took the opportunity to snare a few caches. Another one off the solved pile! Nice puzzle and hide. SL. TFTC

Out caching with Mondou2 today. The weather was perfect for caching. We enjoyed the variety of containers and placements.

Good job. No issues to report. We signed the log.

Thank you, Wolfpack01, for placing this cache.
