Couple of Russian appraisals

Scanword / scanwords - is this a Russian term for a type of crossword game, or is it a trademark?

Also, how do you like this one?

фонтанка.com


Thanks

I don't think it's a tm; scandinavial (style) crossword puzzles are well known around Europe... well, except maybe Finland

Thanks. I am not a crossword fan, so I am not familiar with the term "scanword". I also didn't know that it would be short for "scandinavian crossword".

Can anybody else confirm Yanni's opinion?

Yanni absolutely right. It is shrt for scandinavian crossword. And it is used often here (Ukraine) and so in Russia I think.

Can't be tm in this case.

Good name

Do not shure about фонтанка tm... Think it is not.
As wordstat shows it is smth like youth club or theatre...

Thanks!

Fontanka is a rich area in Saint Petersburg (also the name of a river which flows through this area). So this one is sort of like a geo domain.
