Find these words: CAT, DOG, DONKEY, GOAT, HORSE, PIG, SHEEP, TURTLE
* Words can go E, SE, NE, and, S.

Answer Key: CAT NE @ (5, 14), DOG NE @ (7, 13), DONKEY S @ (10, 6), GOAT S @ (11, 7), HORSE NE @ (7, 7), PIG S @ (4, 7), SHEEP NE @ (2, 7), TURTLE E @ (3, 11)

ℹ️ The answer key uses 1-based indexing and a familiar (x, y) coordinate system. Directions are cardinal from first letter to last. * Please note that all key values inside of the api are 0-based.
