They are pretty good Scrabble players but they made some weak
plays that an expert would have played differently. However, they
are experts at encoding a secret message into the outcome of their
game.
It is a legitimate game using a regulation Scrabble set (i.e.,
all 100 tiles) and all words played can be found in the Scrabble
dictionary.
Each interim stage requires you to solve an anagram puzzle in
the field to determine the next stage's coordinates. You are
looking for 10 Scrabble tiles hidden at each stage. You must
unscramble each set of 10 tiles into two 5-letter words associated
with this geocache. On the back of the first word's tiles will be
the correctly ordered coordinates for North. On the back of the
second word's tiles will be the correctly ordered coordinates for
West.
Bring bug spray, pen and paper, you will need them.
