Anyone that knows me much knows that I like playing with words. I've been wanting to make a word puzzle for quite a while. The following is sort of a mix between a puzzle and an introduction or trainer to terms that some people may not be familiar with. If you follow the directions, you should be able to complete the puzzle in less than an hour or so. Probably less if you are already familiar with the terms.

Below is a maze. Begin by starting at the yellow square in the middle, and head up (north like a map?) until you run into a 'wall'. I've placed the first 3 there for you. Aren't I nice? As you progress through the maze, you will always stop when you run into a wall. These stopping points are where you now must make an evaluation.

Now review the list of 50 sentences. At every stopping point your determination about the sentence will guide your way through the maze. Use these rules to progress-

1. If the sentence is an Alliteration, turn to the left.
2. If the sentence is a Spoonerism, turn to the right.
3. If the sentence is a Pangram, reverse direction.
4. If the sentence is a Palindrome, hop the barrier, and continue in the same direction
5. If the sentence is an Oxymoron, skip that sentence AND THE NEXT one. Determine your direction from the sentence following that.

As you progress through the maze, you will either stop or pass through the coordinate numbers. All left and right turns are made contextually as if you are facing the wall you have stopped at. It may be easiest to turn the paper around as you go. It's pretty much that easy.

The cache itself is log only, well camo'd, and decently hidden. BYOP. Please use care in returning it to the same location. Stealth may be required. Use your own judgment. No FTF prize, just glory.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Have fun and Good Luck!!!

CONGRATS to Yogi942 on his FIRST FTF!!!
