Hi @Paula  lovely little Halloween game! Just the thing to get my brain working on this early morning at 5:30 AM here in Sweden 🎃 Before this “gray-haired old woman” grabs her broomstick and flies off to work! 🧹✨

3 = broomstick

Have a great day, everyone!

Best,

Karen

[Paula]

Hello @Karen4131! Your comment made me smile 😊 "Broomstick" is absolutely correct! Feel free to take another guess at one of the remaining clues if you'd like 😎

[Karen4131]

Hello @Paula! 😊 Since “Broomstick” is correct, then number 1 must be “Jack-o’-lantern” – since the fourth letter has to be “k”! 🎃 Thanks for the fun challenge!

[Paula]

Hello @Karen4131! You’re a pro at this game—your answer is correct! 😊😊

I honestly thought that would be one of the last clues to be guessed.

Please keep participating! 😎

@ Paula these games put our thinking caps on. 

Halloween is not part of our culture. However with today's media. Internet and marketing it is slowly slipping into our lifestyles.

Sometimes when we have children staying I decorate a pot plant on the back varandah of our Airbnb cottage and put parcels underneath with trick or treat written on it.

This year no children staying but I always have something in case some one knocks on the door.

Spider

Hi @Laurelle3! I love hearing how you've embraced Halloween for your guests—even if it's not traditionally part of your culture! 🎃 Decorating a pot plant and preparing little surprises sounds like such a thoughtful touch.

You’re close with “spider” for clue #4, but there’s just a tiny twist to the answer. Think of something a spider might leave behind. 😉 Feel free to take another guess!

@Paula 

I enjoy these puzzles, it is time out from at the end of the evening. today was working cleaning the cottage. getting ready for change over tomorrow. Tonight is making Christmas tags for a small Airbnb Gift (Airbnb key Rings) for our South Coast (NSW) Airbnb Hosts Community Christmas function meeting at the end of the month. 

 

My Gpt Chat created Christmas tag . It was FUN  lining up the Merry Christmas message on the back on the computer.

Now back to the crossword.

20 - Cloak

Right?

[Paula]

Hello @Muslim4 👋 Good guess with cloak! It’s definitely an accessory every vampire needs, but think about something even closer to their... bite at the dinner table. 😉

Keep the guesses coming!
