The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. I have gotten into the habit of tackling several daily puzzles. One of them is called Strands. In Strands, you find theme words to fill the board; a theme word's next letter is always adjacent to the current letter and can be left, right, up, down, or diagonal from it. No theme words overlap. One of the theme words, a "spangram," describes the puzzle's theme and touches two opposite sides of the board.

When you have solved the puzzle, you will have the spangram theme word and six other theme words. Put these seven words in alphabetical order and take the first two letters of each. For example, if CHIME and SETUP were among the theme words, you would take CH and SE. (By the way, neither CHIME nor SETUP is a theme word.) That 14-letter "keyword" will unlock the checker.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
