The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the location of the cache.
Okay, I had this new idea for a puzzle, inspired by a word in one of fizzymagic's puzzles. Of course, most of my new ideas have been done before by someone else, but I haven't seen this in a geocaching context, at least. It should be fairly straightforward. Fill each of the fifteen asterisks with three five-letter words. If this works well, maybe I'll create a more difficult version in the future.

Special Notes about the 2026 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2027). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: There might be some good CITO opportunities in this area, if you want to bring a bag.
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
