Geocache Description:


Wolf to Lion

The cache is not at the above coordinated so there is no need to go there. You can work this out in the comfort of your own home. 

A simple little puzzle for those who like word games. Your aim is to change WOLF to LION in eight moves by changing one letter at a time. And then transfer the letter value you have changed to a number, i.e.: if you change the letter S to a B the numerical value will be 2. A=1 B=2 etc. In the case of a number value having two digits add the digits together i.e. S=19 T=20 U=21 they then become S=10 T=2 U=3.

Remember the letter value you change it to, NOT from.

There are clues for the word you need to change the previous word to.

Here is the puzzle: This time there’s a twist, you work from F to A

    F       Sound of a dog

    E       Horses foot

    D       On the end of a fishing line

    C       Peer at

    B       A diving water fowl

    A       The creature you are looking for

Your prize can be found here:N51 31.(√A) D (E-8) W000 37.(F+C) D B

 

Please note location has been changed. If you worked this out before 29th Dec 2021 minus 9 from Northings.
