Hello everyone and welcome to this month’s Happy Puzzle competition!
For those of you who are new to this, for 14 weeks over lockdown we had an absolute blast creating weekly puzzles which were being received by well over 50,000 people each week. We had thousands of entries and each week a winner was drawn at random from the correct entries. As the weeks passed by, the puzzles were getting more and more ambitious and in the end, Gavin had to concede that he did not have the time to produce a new one every week. So we decided to make it a monthly thing, with the puzzle coming out at 7pm on the first Tuesday of each month.
Here we go then!
Here is the 78th PUZZLE and there is a £25 Happy Puzzle voucher up for grabs.
Happy Halloween!
Later this month we welcome all the scary ghosts and ghouls back to our streets as children up and down the country go in search of sweets and chocolate. And of course, people show off their artistic talents by carving pumpkins.
Well, for this weeks challenge I have done exactly that (sort of).
Below are 20 images of pumpkin carvings that I may or may not have done myself. The first thing you need to do is to work out which famous person is carved in to each pumpkin.
Once you have done that, below is a wordsearch. 19 of those 20 people can be found in that word search EITHER by first name, surname or stage name but never full name.
To win the £25 Happy Puzzle voucher, you need to tell me two things. Firstly the name of the people who appears in the pumpkin carvings, but NOT in the word search, and second of all, what all of those people have in common.
Please send your answer to me at josh@happypuzzle.co.uk, ensuring that you put OCTOBER 2025 PUZZLE in the subject line.
The competition closes at 11.59pm on Friday 31th October 2025. Both the answers and the winner will then be drawn at random and revealed in next month’s puzzle on Tuesday 4th November 2025! My decision will be final!
Here comes the images...
