Want a challenge? Try the hard Halloween word search.
Trick-or-treating only became a nationwide habit in the United States after World War II, once sugar rationing ended in 1947. This word find is the gentle one: every word runs left to right or top to bottom, so younger kids can spot the candy, the costume and the cauldron without reading backwards. Older solvers who want a fight can try the main Halloween word search, the hard version.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the other Halloween word search?
This is the easy version: words only run across or down. The main Halloween grid is the hard one, with words running in all eight directions, several of them backwards. Only PUMPKIN and WITCH appear in both lists.
What does trick or treat actually mean?
It began as a half joking threat at the door: hand over a TREAT, or the visitor plays a TRICK. Today the trick part is just for show.
Why is a black cat a Halloween symbol?
In medieval Europe, black cats were often said to keep company with witches, and some tales claimed a witch could turn into one. The BLACKCAT and the WITCH are both in this grid.
