The Hollow Files

Every puzzle in this book is a haunting - and every haunting is a trick.The Hollow Files collects 100 original gothic word search cases, each one builtaround a single idea: the ghost story is always the work of a human hand. Solvethe grid, and three pieces of evidence surface on their own.Here’s how it works. Cross out every word from the case’s list that you can findin the grid. One word will be missing - that’s your first clue. Then look at theletters no word touched. Read them in order, and they spell out the rest: thehaunt, the trick, and the site. The letter boxes beneath each case tell youexactly how long each answer runs, so there’s only one way the evidence fitstogether.The book builds through five difficulty tiers. It opens with a gentle 8x8 gridand climbs to a Master finale where the two hidden answers interleave letter byletter and both can run backwards - so only the letter counts will lead you out.Most puzzle books stop at 'hard.' This one keeps going.
