Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

The rules of this puzzle are simple: take the 15 letters below, and add them to the grid such that only legitimate Scrabble words are formed.

When all 15 letters are added, there will be some number of 8 letter words. Calculate the Scrabble values of each of them (no special double-letter or triple-word squares, and no 50 point bonus).

Take the sum of the values of the horizontal 8-letter words (including the ones already present), multiply by 10, and add to the West decimal minutes.
Take the sum of the values of the vertical 8-letter words (including the ones already present), multiply by 10, and add to the North decimal minutes.

You won’t need a Geochecker (and since a Geochecker can be used to crack the solution, given time, I’m not providing one). The hint will tell you if you have the solution.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

Ohf-fgbc, haqre orapu.
