Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the posted coordinates.

To find this cache, complete the following steps:

1. Find six words inside the following word search grid. All the words share a common category which should be easy enough to figure out once you've found one.



2. Sort the words based on the position of the first letter in each word on the grid. Positions closer to the top of grid should be listed first. If there is more than one word starting at the same row, the one closer to the left side of the grid should be listed first.

3. Once you get the ordered list, consult a standardized list to convert these words to their corresponding two-letter codes.

4. The result can be converted (using a method widely known to puzzle cachers) into a 15-digit number reflecting the actual coordinates of the cache.

5. Go find the cache.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
