Designed hauntings. Mind tricks. Spirited expressions. Don’t let this free puzzle get inside your head.
The GhostWorx Competition Qwirl was inspired by nature’s glimpse into how “ghosts” can appear through suggestion, timing, and clever design. A lot like my feral art at WildWorx.
It’s less a word search about phantoms and more a puzzle about how ghost stories work.
This Qwirl also plays with new word paths. Some terms may bend, loop, or swirl in ways you won’t find in my other brain games. Think ornamental paths, false apparitions, and a few sneaky visual tricks. Solve accordingly.
