## What is Epic Ancient Word Search?

By Zeus, it's the most historic word search puzzle ever! With over 1,500 words in a massive 120x120 grid, it was - quite literally - thousands of years in the making!

Use two fingers to scroll around the massive grid, then drag with one finger to highlight a word. Zoom out at any time to see a summary of your progress. 

The puzzle is arranged as 16 themed sections, each containing about 100 words. 

To solve the entire thing you'll encounter leaders and deities from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.  We'll take you to Stonehenge, Pompeii and the Great Wall of China.  You'll follow Odysseus on his epic journey and take part in the ancient Olympic Games.  You might also notice that the Mayan calendar didn't actually run out just yet!

Earn Game Center achievements along the way and compare your progress to others on the global leaderboard. 

Epic Ancient Word Search was compiled from user submissions in Word Search Party, also by Lightwood Games. Like our record-besting game Word Search 10K, it has been hand-crafted to form one continuous puzzle with words in every direction.

### 5/5 — Epic Ancient Word Search

*2015-06-25*

Great puzzle, learned a lot of new words in this ancient history word puzzle. It was a toughie but worth it, took me a little longer than usual.

### 5/5 — Epic wordsearch

*2015-02-24*

Absolutely fantastic, as well as having fun, learning as well. Keep them coming please.

### 5/5 — Very Challenging!

*2015-02-14*

I really enjoy doing these word searches. Don't know why you should have to pay for the canceling of those other games that interfere with the search! Would be nice to be free,since they take a long time to finish.
Time consuming but Fun!

### 3/5 — Lastest puzzle.

*2015-02-08*

I do not like the strange words to look for in this puzzle. It's like doing a word puzzle in Chinese.

### 3/5 — Brock Johnson

*2015-02-07*

Good new puzzle with a very interesting theme, but I get tired of seeing the same ads like for clash of clans & game of war, which I disapprove of & will never get, & casino games, which I'm not allowed to get, & soda crush, which I had again, but deleted when I failed & spent too much bars to keep playing.  Less ads or no ads at all would make Lightwood brand games much more enjoyable, since You can't get rid of them without paying for it.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2015-02-05*

Lightwood does such a great job in making fun word searches.  Thanks Lightwood.
