Information: This is one of my many puzzle caches. Do not try to find these symbols online. They are not there. I made them up. "Hey, that's not fair," you may say. Well, the technique to solving it doesn't really matter what symbols are used. I first came across this coding technique on a Chance Encounter cache.
First, try and find some symbol that is often repeated but probably not at even intervals. That is probably going to signify the end of a word. Look at the groupings of letters that form the words. You probably know some of the typical caching words to look for: north, west, coordinates, degrees, point, and any numbers.
"Coordinates" is probably one you would spot quickly just because it is so long. Another that can be spotted pretty quickly is "degrees." Just try and connect the letter "e" to a symbol that often in those places. Once you get those words, fill in the blanks on the other words in the puzzle. You will be surprised how many of them you will be able to figure out.
If you get stuck, try and figure out the order of my symbols. There is a logic to their order in relation to the alphabet.
I do, however, throw in a twist when giving you the coded hints. |
