Across
- 4. You freeze in terror when you spot an eight-legged visitor weaving a web in the corner of your bedroom.
- 5. You aggressively apply hand sanitizer the second someone near you sneezes, panicked by invisible germs.
- 7. Getting stuck in a packed, tiny elevator is your absolute worst nightmare.
- 8. You double-check the calendar to make sure Friday doesn't land on the unluckiest number of them all: 13.
- 10. The thought of stepping out into a vast, crowded stadium with no easy exit makes you want to retreat under the covers.
Down
- 1. You refuse to fall asleep without a nightlight because the dark room feels full of hidden dangers.
- 2. A harmful fear or distrust aimed at people, ideas, or customs simply because they come from another country or culture.
- 3. A sudden rustle in the tall grass makes you jump, terrified you might slither across a legless reptile.
- 6. Standing at the top of a skyscraper's glass observation deck makes your knees shake and your stomach drop.
- 9. Even with floaties on, the deep end of the swimming pool feels like a terrifying ocean abyss.
