Ncumbered Qcumber Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MonteLukast: Very sadly, I have to archive this cache. The surroundings have been cut down so the only container I could still place at these coordinates is a magnetic nano, which I am out of. The puzzle is highly specific to these coordinates, and I couldn't make it work even with offsets.

This was one of my favorite puzzles to put together, and I hope to use it again in a future cache. Thank you to everybody who enjoyed it!

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the above coordinates!

This is a special crostic puzzle I learned from an online acquaintance. You fill in the boxes below with three, four, or five letter words that fit the clues to their right.

Rules:

  1. Start from the 3-letter word and add ONE letter to make the 4-letter word.
  2. Then add ONE more letter to make the 5-letter word.
  3. You will very frequently need to rearrange the orders of the letters to make the next word.
  4. What are the letters you add to your 3-words to make your 4-words, and to your 4-words to make your 5-words? There's something quite possibly hidden in there...
Good luck and have fun!
