Free Printable Halloween Word Scramble

Leans spooky rather than cute. Next to PUMPKIN, CANDY and COSTUME there are words like POLTERGEIST, SARCOPHAGUS and MAUSOLEUM, which makes it a better fit for older kids and adults than most Halloween sheets. Answer key on every sheet, and a fresh set of jumbled words from the same 63-word list each time you press the button.
