The gods of the Nile, in one grid
Ancient Egypt worshipped a vast family of gods, and this puzzle gathers the most famous. You'll be finding the great powers — RA, OSIRIS, ISIS and HORUS — the animal-headed deities like ANUBIS, BASTET and SOBEK, and the older gods of earth and sky, from GEB to NUT.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the pantheon, no two Egyptian gods word searches are the same. One round a backwards THOTH hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SEKHMET stalks across the grid.
A perfect partner for an ancient Egypt topic
The Egyptian gods are a highlight of any ancient-Egypt unit, sitting neatly alongside the pharaohs, pyramids and mummies. This puzzle helps the names and stories stick, and it pairs nicely with our Ancient Egypt puzzle in the History category.
Helpfully, most Egyptian god names are short, so Easy mode plays well for younger pharaohs-in-training, with a few longer ones like NEPHTHYS for older students.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know who's left to find.
