You can do this the hard way, or the easy way.  Take a look at each word file below.  

Final Cache Coordinates are at N39.02.XX0 W105.04.YY0 where XX is the number of words in the “Ascending Letter” list that consist solely of words with letters of the same or increasing letter value, and where YY is the number of words in the “Descending Letter” list that consist solely of words with letters of the same or decreasing letter value.

 

Example of Words with Increasing Letter Value

ABE (B is greater than or equal to A, and E is greater than or equal to B)

ADD (D is greater than or equal to A, and D is greater than or equal to D)

 

Example of Words without Increasing Letter Value

AXED (The E after X disqualifies this word)

 

Example of Words with Decreasing Letter Value

ZOO (O is less than or equal to Z, and O is less than or equal to O)

SEA (E is less than or equal to S, and A is less than or equal to E)
