Frequently asked questions

Can I play and print the Halloween word search without an account?

Yes. Playing on screen and printing are free, no account needed. There is nothing to install.

What age is the puzzle for?

The sheet has fourteen by fourteen letters, with words in all eight directions, backwards too. That suits kids from about ten, around Year 6. For younger kids, pick the easy ten by ten version under Level.

Which Halloween words are in it?

From pumpkin and ghost to cauldron and werewolf: the list runs through a whole Halloween night, from the decorations by the front door to the trick-or-treaters collecting lollies on your street. Long words like broomstick and graveyard often run diagonally through the grid, while short words like witch and mummy are harder to spot because they can hide anywhere.

Can I save the puzzle as a PDF?

Yes. If you want the answer key too, switch it on first. Press print and choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialogue. The answer key then goes on the second sheet.

Is this puzzle in the app too?

The app has puzzle themes of its own and a daily puzzle in 25+ languages. This Halloween word search was made especially for the website.

Try it in Spanish too

The same theme also exists in Spanish, French, German and Italian, each with its own word list in that language. Handy if you are learning a language: you already know the topic, now just the words.
