Printing tips

  • Keep printing at actual size; any scaling takes the letters below 28pt.
  • Spooky theme, plain pages: black type on white, with no ink-heavy art.
  • One PDF serves Letter and A4 — the grid clears the margins of both.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Halloween vocabulary too frightening for young solvers?
It leans playful rather than gruesome — PUMPKIN, COSTUME, LANTERN, SCARECROW. A few classics like SKELETON and GHOST appear, but nothing beyond what a school party decoration would show.
Do the spooky pages use dark backgrounds that eat ink?
No — despite the theme, every page is plain black type on white. There are no midnight backgrounds or pumpkin graphics, so the set prints as cheaply as any text document.
Can I grab just one Halloween puzzle for tonight?
Yes — each of the ten puzzles is its own two-page PDF, grid first and key second, so one click gets a single sheet printed before the doorbell starts ringing.
How large is the type on the Halloween grids?
28 points — the standard large-print tier across this site — printed one 15×15 grid per page. The footer of every PDF page states the size in writing.
