Geocache Description:


Mrs Gaggle hereby presents her first attempt at a puzzle cache.

Good luck to us all!!!!


After working out a few puzzles, and getting lots of wrong answers, Mrs Gaggle thought she would create one of her own to see if she is on a completely different wavelength from everyone else.


This puzzle is based on one of the options which she used when trying to figure out another puzzle cache. She thought it was such a good idea that it would make a great puzzle in its own right.


So here it is………





Just figure out how many six letter words are contained within the grid, in the standard wordsearch style.
Obviously the grid does need some “manipulation” before you begin.

Once you have identified all the six letter words use the formula below to get the location.

If number of six letter words = w, and the total number of vowels (AEIOU) in the answers = v, then the cache can be found at:


N51°20.(12*v)
E00°(20+w+v).9w4


Good luck !!!!

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


**Well done to colincactus for the FTF**
