Halloween Word Search, Free PDF

Trunk-or-treat tables and October literacy centers need a puzzle that actually says Halloween — pumpkins, costumes, and spooky-but-classroom-safe words — not generic autumn vocabulary. This 12×12 grid adds diagonal words for a step up from easy fall puzzles without overwhelming younger grades. Controls below let you change grid size, difficulty, or word list; tap New puzzle for a fresh layout with the same settings. Print at 100% with scaling turned off. The answer key on page two of the PDF means you do not have to solve it yourself.
