I said I would release a clue at the end of March to the Coded Special Words of Forrest Fenn which are in the back of my book, Armchair Treasure Hunts. The clue is below. As many know, the Special Words were given to me by Forrest to share with searchers. These words are encoded, however, of which Forrest knew I was going to do.

I’ve been asked many times, ‘Do you think they hold a clue to finding the treasure chest?’

My answer has been, ‘I think they are interesting. I believe the ‘Coded Special Words’ are helpful to those who have a final location and have either been there or are still planning to go. I don’t feel they will help someone ‘find that location’—but may help with finding the chest once this location is known and at that location.’

Are they needed? No. We all know Forrest has said only the poem is needed.

Forrest has also said,

“Life is a game of poker,

Happiness is the pot.

Fate deals you four cards and a joker,

And you play whether you like it or not”

And this leads to the First Clue for the Coded Special Words:

“March has ended and the jokers can go too

Play with a standard deck that is your clue

The first word is seen hidden and so is the fifth

The message revealed? The final location goes with”
