About The Haunted House

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.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last — the trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
