Consider the letters ILRT. If you insert the three consecutive letters (trigram) SPO into ILRT - without re-arranging any letters, you would get the common two-word phrase SPOIL SPORT (spoIL spoRT). Can you insert a trigram (three consecutive letters) into the letters RFER, without re-arranging any letters, to get another common two-word phrase?

Answer:

The trigram is ING - to get RING FINGER
                                              (Ring FingER)
