Discover the language of the Reformation
Long before the Bible in English became commonplace, a handful of determined scholars and printers helped bring Scripture into the language of ordinary people.
Our Reformed Refined Word Search collection celebrates that heritage through four landmark editions of the English Bible. Each book offers olde words to discover, and beside each Olde English word is its modern-day equivalent. There are eighty words per puzzle, with forty from each generation of the language.
Four editions, four perspectives on a remarkable period in the history of English Scripture.
Whether you're fascinated by Bible history, enjoy word puzzles, or simply love discovering the origins of familiar words, there's something here for you.
Travel through time together.

The legacy. The language. The landmark.
By 1611, the English Bible had already travelled a remarkable journey. From Tyndale's pioneering translations, through Matthew's Bible and the Geneva Bible, generations of scholars and printers had shaped the language of Scripture in English.
The King James Version brought these traditions together in an edition that would leave an extraordinary mark on the English-speaking world.
Rediscover that language through 1,611 words drawn from the 1611 edition, each accompanied by its modern-day equivalent. A celebration of the words, expressions and linguistic heritage that have helped shape English for over four centuries.
