Geocache Description:

Spiromania #22

It's a puzzle so the cache is not at the posted coordinates.
It's a word puzzle so no math is required, only English.
Make that American English, not British English.


Put any of the following lists of words in their preferred order to obtain the VK coordinates for the cache: original list : 0 utilitarian, 1 amphora, 2 azure, 3 awful, 4 enormous, 5 oval, 6 ancient, 7 Italian, 8 an, 9 iron.


 0   pill  utility  utilitarian
 1  bottle  pole  amphora
 2  black  gray  azure
 3  cute  ugly  awful
 4  small  large  enormous
 5  round  cylindrical  oval
 6  new  old  ancient
7  Chinese  Canadian  Italian
 8  a  an  an
 9  plastic  wooden  iron


BTW, the correct answer is a dg point, i.e. in VKabcdefghij each  digit 0..9 occurs exactly once . So enter your answer in that form.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
