This puzzle provides a twist on the usual "word search" or "find a word" puzzle. To locate the cache, you'll need to search, search, and search again.
All the words you're looking for contain at least 3 letters. Your first search will yield 13 groups of related words, your second will yield you another, and your third will yield the cache location.
