The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to find the cache coordinates.
I had this new puzzle idea. Hopefully, it is actually solvable. I'm calling it a Reverse Word Search, though it's really more like a Crossword Puzzle but without directions (in two senses of the word). It might actually be easier than the 4-star difficulty rating I've given it (at least we know now that it's not unsolvable). I guess we'll find out!

Special Notes about the 2019 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, assuming one happens sometime in 2020). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: If it's not actually solvable, I expect Turtle.X will brute-force the hide location anyway 
. First finders noted that the coordinates in the tree cover may be as much as 25 feet off. See updated Certitude hint if needed.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
