The location of the first letter of each word in the search has a value based upon the square in which it is located. Here’s how it works. The first letter of the first word, comical, is ( c) and is located at grid O6 which has a value of 90. Since the ( c) in comical is represented by the letter “A” then A=90. Now find the value of letters, “B” through “R”. Once you have the all the values, you will then be able to solve the equations below to get correct coordinates. (Math Rule: Always multiply & divide before adding & subtracting.)
