Halloween Wordsearch
Introduction
This free Halloween wordsearch hides ten of the season's spookiest words in a 12x12 grid. Somewhere in the letters you will find PUMPKIN, VAMPIRE, CAULDRON, SKELETON, BROOMSTICK, HAUNTED, WEREWOLF, COBWEB, COSTUME and LANTERN. Your job is to track them all down before they find you first.
Words can run in any direction including diagonally, so scan every corner of the grid carefully. Drag or swipe across the letters to make your selection, and each word will highlight the moment you find it. If you get stuck, the Reveal Solution toggle is always there to help.
The puzzle works on any device with no download and no account required. It is well-suited for kids and adults alike and makes a fun activity for Halloween parties, classrooms or a quiet evening in.
