Spot spooky words hiding in a grid of letters
Halloween Word Search hands you a grid of letters with a list of seasonal words buried inside it. Each word may lie across, down or on a diagonal, so you hunt for a first letter and follow the line in every direction until the rest falls into place. It makes a quiet puzzle for an October evening, and younger players pick up spooky vocabulary as they search.
How to play Halloween Word Search
- Check the word list to see what is hidden in the grid.
- Find one of the words, which may run horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
- Drag across its letters from the first to the last to mark it as found.
- Track down every word on the list to complete the puzzle.
Controls
| Mouse | Click and drag over a word's letters |
|---|---|
| Touch | Slide a finger across the letters |
Tips to play better
- Start with the longest word on the list; it has more letters to catch your eye and is quick to confirm.
- Hunt for an uncommon letter such as Z, K or W instead of a common one like S or T.
- If a word contains a double letter, scan for that twin pair first, since two identical letters side by side stand out.
- Once rows and columns are checked, run your eyes along each diagonal; slanted words are the easiest to overlook.
