Trick-or-treat time is nearly upon us! To celebrate, here’s today’s Brain Game:

Find as many words as you can – of four letters or more – from the letters in the word HALLOWEEN. You can use a letter once for each time it appears in the original word, meaning your words can contain two Ls and two Es, but only one H, A, O, W, or N. There’s no time limit, but don’t take all day. It is Friday, after all.

H A L L O W E E N

Here is a list of possible WORDS.

  1. Let’s make it an even 40 (or so) words!

    You forgot:
    HALLOWEEN =P
    and WHO’LL is like 1.5 words.

    So, it looks as if you’ve got a solid 39.5 words there!

    I’m sure others will start flooding in with words from urbandictionary.com or from different languages!

    TGIF!!

  5. Well, “common” as in ones that typically appear in a “standard” dictionary as opposed to a larger one. :)

  7. “Ween” for to have an opinion. Quite common in poetry, I ween.
