Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!  This cache is in honor of my favorite game of all time.  Enjoy.

Cache container holds logbook, and has room for very small trade items. Bring your own writing tool. :)

Scrabble was invented during the Great Depression by an out of work architect. He studied the front page of the New York Times to calculate how often each of the letters of the English language was used. He assigned point values to each letter and then decided how many of each letter would be included in the game.

Scrabble has a lot of interesting and creative phrases used by hard core players.

Plug the following into these coordinates:
N AA BB.CCD
W 0EE FF.GHI

AA = BINGO + BINGO PRONE TILES + BLANK BINGO - NONGO
BB = EXTENSION + HOOK LETTER-3
CC = EXCHANGING TILES + FISHING - DUMPING
D = ENDGAME - LEAVE
EE = DOUBLE DOUBLE + TRIPLE TRIPLE + HOT SPOTS + FREQUENCY LIST + PARALLEL PLAY - POWER TILES
FF = NATURAL BINGO + OVERDRAWING - ROUNDS
G = RACK MANAGEMENT - BLOCKING
H = COFFEE HOUSING - BLUFFING
I = OPEN BOARD + CLOSED BOARD - PASSING - LEXICO
