the posted coordinates.
Use the coordinates from the waypoint listed below (NOT those
listed for the cache) as a starting point for solving the
puzzle.
It's been a while since the last "On The Grid" puzzle; and what
better time for a new one than Christmas! There is only one puzzle
to solve for this cache, with four solution cells. The cells must
be placed in the correct order to determine the a.bcd values to add
to the origin point.
The grid below contains the names of four well-known Christmas
songs. This is NOT a Word Search, but more of a Word Maze. Each
song title begins on one of the border cells, each one starting on
a different one of the four sides (none starts in a corner). Each
name then follows a path moving and turning up, down, left or
right, but not diagonally. No letter is used in more than one name,
and all of the letters will be used.
The last letters of the four song titles are your solution
cells, so note the row and column numbers for each of them. To
order them (and their corresponding row/column pairs) correctly,
think of a six-letter word, made up of the four solution cell
letters, plus two vowels, that describes the type of person who
would perform these songs. The order of the four letters in that
word is the correct solution order to use, based on details
provided in "Get On The Grid".
Prize for FTF: a snowman Christmas ornament (use of which was
fully authorized by the "chief elf").
