How this list was compiled

Own original pixel pictures of Halloween things, drawn square by square for this page on 8 by 8 and 12 by 12 grids. Nothing is traced or copied, and no picture shows a character from a film, show, book or game. Each uses 3 to 5 colors with one-word names. The descriptions say what is drawn and make no claim about the real animal or object. The square counts were computed from the grids. Licence: own work

How this list was compiled

Our own word lists for this page. The two sets of everyday words are the short common words in six Halloween sentences we wrote for the page, and each word's line gives its sentence. The Halloween words are our own pick of short words for the season. No list is taken from a published sight word list, and none carries a grade level. Spellings were checked against a standard dictionary word list on 30 September 2026. Licence: own work

How it works

Each of these Halloween sight words fills squares of a pixel picture, and the key gives each word a crayon. Type up to 40 words in Your words or keep the sample, then press Print this sheet.

Questions and answers

No. They are our own: 14 everyday words from the six sentences and 10 Halloween words, with no grade levels. If your reading program sets the words, type them in Your words and the sheet uses those.

Where is the answer key?

On page 2 of the printout, as the finished picture in color. The box Answer key on page 2, in More options under the grid, is ticked when the page opens. Untick it to print the worksheet alone.

How many words does one sheet need?

Between 4 and 6. The Costume mask needs 4, the Mummy, the Bunting and the Crow need 5, and the Candy jar and the Flashlight need 6. A longer list is dealt at random.
