The Family Bible: a free online word search

A family bible word search, free and printable, with no sign-up. Think faded flyleaf ink and a cracked leather spine on the parlor shelf.

About The Family Bible

In many households the biggest book on the shelf wasn't read so much as consulted. Between the Old and New Testaments, or on the pages printed for the purpose, someone wrote in each birth and wedding, and later each funeral, usually in whatever ink was handy, and the handwriting changes as the generations do. Today those pages are often the only record of a great-grandmother's maiden name, which is why genealogists ask about them first.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
