I've been getting lots of hits today due to this article in the NY Times, and mostly the word poecilonym

Yep, and loved it. Of course I'm a big fan of Will Shortz. We even went to see it on The Big Screen just to check out the other geeks. The next tournament's coming up:

Great idea for a movie, hope we get to see it down here it sounds like an intriguing plot. The only one we had here was 'spelling bee' I liked the concept. Can you watch games online?
