About this puzzle

Twenty women from Genesis to Acts: Sarah and Rebekah, Miriam and Deborah, loyal Ruth and Naomi, Queen Esther, Mary and Martha, and Lydia the seller of purple. A word search for women’s Bible studies, ladies’ groups and anyone who loves these stories.

Easy (10×10) places words across and down only. Medium (13×13) adds diagonals. Hard (15×15) runs words in all eight directions, and its filler letters are borrowed from the word list to create false starts.

All 20 words in this theme: Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Naomi, Hannah, Esther, Mary, Martha, Leah, Abigail, Elizabeth, Phoebe, Lydia, Dorcas, Priscilla, Jochebed.

Read the story: Ruth 1–4, Esther 4–8, Luke 1 and 10, and Acts 16.

Lesson idea: Ask each person to choose one woman from the list and find one verse about her to share with the group.

Questions

Can I print copies for my whole class?

Yes. Puzzles are free for classroom and personal use. Use “Shuffle grid” and print to give students different layouts of the same words.

Which level should I choose?

Easy suits grades 2–3: a small grid with words only across and down. Medium adds diagonals for grades 4–6. Hard uses a bigger grid with words in all eight directions, good for middle school and adults.

Is there a large print version?

Yes. Every theme has a large print edition with bigger letters and a roomier grid, made for seniors and low vision.
