About Seasonal

Every old house tells a story in the language of its sounds — the low groan of a settling beam, the skitter of something unseen, a candle flame that bends without a breeze. Shadows pool in corners where the lantern light just barely reaches, and cobwebs drape the stair rails like forgotten lace. Halloween gives us permission to walk straight into that dread, eyes wide, heart loud, grinning all the way.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word from the list.Press the first letter and drag to the last — across, down or diagonally, forwards or back. Or tap the first letter, then the last.
  2. 2
    It stays marked.Found words get a soft teal line through them, on the grid and in the list.
  3. 3
    Make it comfortable.Use the A / A+ / A++ size control any time, or pinch the grid for a closer look.
