Geocache Description:

Who wants to try a code word puzzle?


This puzzle is based on a fun one I did in West Bend, WI in early August, 2011. There are no conventional clues and I think it's pretty difficult but it can be solved. Each number in the puzzle represents the alphabet letters  a - z and the integer numbers 0 - 9, with the exception of 7. There is no 7 in the answer. So simply replace the numbers 1 - 35 below with the letters a - z and the numbers 0 - 6, 8 and 9. Then you can solve for the true ground zero - enjoy!


Here is a link to a pdf version of the puzzle:

 Apologies in advance

and here is your message to decode for the true gz:

 5   19   19   25   34   19

32   35   11   26   24   32

34   26   32   35   26   34

29   35   34    6   35   29

19    6   29   35    6   33

29   35   11   19   35   12

I created the puzzle by hand, so if there are any mistakes, my

apologies in advance.
