Geocache Description:

A series based on one of my favourite puzzles - Simon Shuker's Code Cracker.

Each number in the Code Cracker grid represents a different letter of the alphabet.  For example in this puzzle 8 represents M so fill in M every time the number 8 appears. Use your knowledge of words to work out which letters should go in which squares. As you get the letters, fill in other squares with the same number in the main grid and control grid. Check off each letter of the alphabet as you identify them.
