Question

Trying to create alpha and numeric caches (names and/or cache owners). How can I check what is available nearby?

Comments

I'm trying to find what I have done to create these caches which may not included all of the alphabet, but perhaps vowels or consonants or various combinations of letters for cache names.

I'm not sure what it is you're looking for here. You want to "fill the gaps" in an area to make some spelling challenge easier or something like that? I would just use Map compare (https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare) or the normal search on geocaching.com and Ctrl+F in the browser to search the letters needed then.

THANK YOU . . . THAT HELPED.
ONE QUESTION   . . . WE PREVIOUSLY HAD A CACHE NAMED "QUIZAS, QUIZAS, QUIZAS."  I KNOW IT WAS ARCHIVED, BUT IT THE LINK INDICATES THAT I FOUND NO CACHES BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER "Q."  THE NEW FORMAT DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO GO BACK TO MY EARLY CACHES AND SEE WHAT I DID OR TO LOCATE THAT CACHE.  EVERYTHING NOW APPEARS ON A MAP RATHER THAN ON PAGES THAT YOU COULD REFER BACK TO.  SO I KNOW THAT THIS CACHE EXISTED, BUT WHY DOESN'T IT COME UP WHEN I AM SEARCHING LETTER "Q"?

The old search is available if you use this link: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=guamgirl46 (you can access it from the front page of Project-GC). You can also see all your logs on geocaches at this link: https://www.geocaching.com/my/logs.aspx?s=1

You can add a cachename filter for MapCompare if you have a paid membership at Project-GC, but it seems you've only found this cache that starts with a Q: https://coord.info/GC1JMWD I would assume the cache "Quizas, quizas, quizas" had it's name changed before it was archived.

In searching back through my finds on Guam, I found Quinn the Eskimo          GC2435J and Quizas, Quizas, Quizas  GC1AWJH.  Neither had name changed, but neither come up in my search on the link you provided.

Also, is there a link to search for cache owners names beginning with various letters?

Sorry, I made a logical error and forgot it was an archived cache. You need to select the filter "include archived and disabled caches" on MapCompare.

For cache owners I don't have a better solution than doing a search for each letter of the alphabet on the advanced search: https://project-gc.com/#AdvancedSearch

Thank you!  That helps.

If I understand your question correctly then I think the easiest way is checkers.
