Last week's challenge: Last week's challenge came from Wei-hwa Huang, of San Jose, who's the four-time champion of the World Puzzle Championship. He notes that it's unusual for a multi-word movie title to consist entirely of words starting with vowels, none of which are the article "a." or pronoun "I." Can you name a popular movie with a five-word title — with word lengths 10, 10, 3, 2, 4 — all of which start with vowels?
Challenge answer: "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
Winner: Alex Gallamore of Charlottesville, VA
This week's challenge: This week's challenge comes from David Wagner, of Atlanta, Ga. Think of a common phrase in the form "___ of my ___." The word that goes in the first blank is the name of a well-known company. And the word that goes in the second blank sounds like part of the names of many of that company's products. What phrase is it?
