Credit: Will Shortz
NPR Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle

1. Can you think of two words which, in the broadest sense, represent all written language. Each word has five letters, four of which are the same - though not in the same order.

2. Can you think of a two-word product bought by most adults, such that the first word has ten letters and the second has nine. Between the two words, each of the five vowels is used exactly twice.

HINTS:
1)
#1: The different letters are R and M.
#2. Both words begin with P.

2)
#1: You buy it hoping that you won't have to use it.
#2: The first letters of the two words are A and I. 

Answers:
1. PROSE - POEMS 
2. AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE
