PHILATELIC NICKNAMES
Ed S.
As philatelists, we share a language all our own. Terms used in our lexicon usually have very different meanings to non-collectors. Hidden in this puzzle are the philatelic nicknames of 76 famous stamps, sets, series, and even a few forgeries.

Some of the puzzles that people list for the public
get indexed by the search engines
(like Google).
Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle
of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
There are now buttons on the puzzle so that you can get a clean page,
in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button
to print. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a
printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page.
The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
