Every ladder on these sheets starts or ends on a Halloween word — BAT, WEB, CAT and HAT on the easy sheets; MASK, BONE, CAPE, DARK and CAVE at intermediate; BLACK, TRICK, SCARY, SPELL and CLAWS at advanced — so the set works as a seasonal activity without changing the puzzle. The words come from the same hand-checked lists as the main sets, and each ladder is verified to be solvable in the number of steps shown.
Two easy sheets (3-letter CVC words, kindergarten and 1st grade), two intermediate sheets (4-letter words, 2nd–3rd grade) and two advanced sheets (5-letter words, 4th–6th grade). Four ladders per sheet, answer page behind each, US Letter.
