This cache replaces the original one which was completely trashed (I think it was an animal attack). The replacement is higher, tougher and smaller. Rather than edit the attributes I have republished as a micro with a different puzzle given the old one caused problems as it had multiple solutions.
Puzzle
This is a list of 13 everyday words. Each are 5 letters long but all have 2 letters removed. They are listed in alphabetical order based on the 5 letter word. The 26 letters of the alphabet are used only once in the missing letter list. In each word the letters which remain are in the correct order. There are no plurals. Work out which letters are missing.
To make it a little easier some of the words will be very familiar to cachers in general and those who do this series of caches in particular. To finish the puzzle there are a few random ones .
ION
BOE
CAC
CIB
EOY
IRS
ESS
MIR
IOT
PRE
UER
TRC
ATE
Now list all the missings letters in the order in which they were removed and number them from 1 to 26. IE No 1 will be the first letter removed from the first word on the list, No 26 will be the last letter removed from the last word on the list.
A = 3+15+17+19
B = 11+21+22+23
C = 6+7+20+26
D = 1+2+8+18
E = 9+10+13+14
F = 4+5+12+16
CHECKSUM = A+B+C+D+E+F = 29
