THINKIN' Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jREST: So, the last log indicated some no trespassing signs, figured I better swing through to check this out. Yep, some on the east side of the beacon, that is fine, need to be on the west side... So, over to the west side, and hey where did those come from... Spotted one on the south side of the road... The north side is probably doable, but to avoid any issues I am archiving this one... Lasted for 8-years, was a good run...

Geocache Description:

NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES - IT IS A PUZZLE YOU KNOW

Question

I'm thinking of a five-letter word. Here are some clues to help you figure it out:

  1. WORLD has three common letters, none in the right place.
  2. DERBY has no common letters.
  3. BROAD has one common letter, which is in the right place.
  4. CLEAR has two common letters, both in the right place.
  5. YEARN has one common letter, which is in the right place.

No letter is repeated twice within the word.

What is the FIVE letter word???

When you figure it out you will need to do some simple math and fill in the blanks, using a=1, b=2.. z=26.

Add up the five letters in the word I am thinking about and call that your "answer".

For the NORTH coordinates SUBTRACT 1 from your "answer" for xx.

For the WEST coordinates, ADD 14 to the "answer" for yy.

N 44 59.xx4

W 093 4y.y70
