Recently Seawind mentioned that if I would like to make a crossword puzzle, he would be willing to provide the CrossCache app for it. I figure when a master in a field offers something, it usually will behoove one to accept it.
Of course I had no idea what would be a good subject for a crossword puzzle. I could do music, except I have sufficient puzzles about that. Then there are the interesting points of Florida known only to the locals; I am sure Utahns would enjoy that. I even tested my puzzle of referencing the specific words on specific pages from an ultra-rare book that has only 150 copies in existence. Oddly enough, anyone testing it could not solve it.
Finally it hit me, why not do a crossword where every clue is related to coordinates. After all it is a subject any cacher should have a working knowledge of. Thus Coordinate Cross.
As you will see every clue is coordinate related. Google Earth is helpful for solving. Make sure to have "Borders and Labels", "Places" and "Wikipedia" (under the "More" tab) turned on. I am sure this online tool will also be of use to you. Visiting each location and deriving the answer from the real world is also a method that can be used to solve the puzzle. Please ensure you take proper equipment for some of the locations.
At any rate here it is:
Coordinate Cross
Click on the link above to be taken to the CrossCache app; an online crossword utility developed by eminent Utah cacher and computer science professor lesdubois for Geocaching.
No registration is required.
No personal information is required.
The regular rules of the CrossCache app apply. If you have done any crosswords by Seawind, and now wyzzguys and lesdubois, you should be familiar with them. At the outset you will be asked to submit a keyword consisting of letters and numbers. Don't use your caching name, but do use a something you can remember. The app saves automatically so that you can come back and continue where you left off. There is a "help" button on the page should you need assistance with the app. On the other hand, if you run into a clue that you are unable to solve, pushing the "help" button will not be of assistance.
This puzzle has both hints and the new letter reveal option. You will need to solve 4 clues in order to get a hint. For every 8 correct letters you are able to right click on a square of your choosing and reveal the correct letter for that square. I am also always happy to help if needed.
When you have completed the puzzle you will be given a phrase. All you have to do is click on the Ok button to be taken to Certitude. At that point you can press Ctrl+V (also known as "paste") to paste the solution into the Checker and get the most important coordinates in this puzzle. Otherwise you can click on the link that was placed above.
Have fun!
