Some useful Links
There is a great list of useful links on the geocaching puzzle help facebook page. The link for useful sites is here.
(I used to replicate all the useful sites links here, but the maintenance was a pain, so please follow the link above as it will take you to the latest version of the list - do not worry, nothing has disappeared!)
A good way into the puzzle-setter's mindset:
For those new to solving geocaching puzzles (or those looking for some new ideas), it is often tricky/daunting to get into the mindset of those strange people who set puzzles. If you fall into this category, and you're feeling slightly bored, then you could do a lot worse than reading a copy of the GCHQ Puzzle Book / GCHQ Puzzle Book II.
Some unusual routes into geocaching.com:
Geocaching Shortcuts and Hints - Website Functions, Parameters, Shortcuts and Hints for Geocaching.com
Through the Backdoors of Geocaching.com - a cache which challenges you to find some undocumented things on geocaching.com - not sure if the "holes" they exploit are still there?
Geocaching Quick Links - as it says, lots of quick links to things on geocaching.com, plus several other useful functions
