1.  Here is the puzzle.

Your goal is to fit the Puzzle Pieces into their proper places.

The 16 sections are identified by letter-number combination's (A-1,A-2,A-3,A-4).Black squares indicate the end of a word-words do not necessarily end a the end of a line.

I have started you out "the rest is all you".

2. Solve the puzzle.

Solving this type of word puzzle is a matter of figuring out which letter groups go together to form words.  For example, building on the 'TAND' in block A4, Line 2, and selecting letter groups from Block A2 and A3 leads to the obvious choices to make the word "UNDERSTAND".  Filling in those letters limits the number of choices for the rest of the words in each block.

If you fill in ONLY the letter blocks for which there is only ONE possible choice, and using the word 'UNDERSTAND', you get this far:

From here it is possible to see that words like 'WRONG" actually wrap past the end of one line and onto the beginning of the next line. Use that observation, and a little bit of logic, to fill in the rest of the puzzle board. 

Aren't geocache puzzle-makers a witty lot?

Accomplished as you may feel at this point, you're not done yet.
