Biblical and Roman Epics: a free online word search

Biblical and Roman epics word search, free and printable. A cast of thousands, marble halls and one very long chariot race waiting on the page.

About Biblical and Roman Epics

In the 1950s, television was keeping people home, so the studios answered with size: wide screens, stereo sound, sets built full scale and extras by the thousands. Rome and the Bible gave them everything they wanted, marble halls, sandals, sword fights and a little moral instruction on the side. Many of these pictures were roadshow releases, which meant an overture before the curtain rose and an intermission halfway through a three- or four-hour running time.

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.
