Halloween Word Search Puzzles collects 40 themed grids, and the themes read like a night out in costume. The Easy dozen includes Pumpkin Patch, Friendly Ghosts, Black Cat, Witch Hat, Candy Bag and Doorbell Surprise, with ten words apiece such as PURR, WHISKER, PORCH and KNOCK.

Sounds, sewing and night animals

Medium pages (16, all 15 x 15 with twelve words) include Spooky Sounds, where the list is CREAK, RUSTLE, HOWL, CACKLE and ECHO, plus Halloween Candy, Haunted House and Monster Mash. The Hard twelve run 20 x 20 with sixteen words and get unusually specific. Costume Design Studio wants SEQUINS, APPLIQUE and EMBROIDERY. Nocturnal Creatures asks for ECHOLOCATION, INSECTIVORE and HIBERNATION, next to OWL, BADGER and RACCOON.

On Easy pages every word reads forward, across or down, apart from two or fewer slanting down to the right. Everything above Easy can run in all eight directions and backward. Each puzzle page leaves room for a name and a date above the grid.

Five ways to play with a group

  • Pumpkin Word Sprint: three minutes on any puzzle, most words wins
  • Ghost Word Hunt: 60 seconds on a 15 x 15 grid hiding 12 words, with no list to work from
  • Costume Crew Categories: 16 words to sort into Costumes, Creatures, Treats and Party
  • Candy Dash: the H15 Halloween Candy puzzle against a five-minute timer
  • Midnight Mystery Challenge: 20 hidden words on a 20 x 20 grid, again with no list

The host keeps the bonus answer pages, and a Halloween Score Sheet records who found what.
