+
+## Clarification
+
+The problem asks to find if there is a substring between 2 words,
+it does not require finding a particular one that meets a certain property,
+not counting all the possible ones.
+
+With that in mind, simply find the first 1-letter intersection between two word
+to return "YES".
+The worst case is to return "NO" after going through both words letter by letter.

+# [Two Strings](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/two-strings)
+
+- Difficulty:  `#easy`
+- Category: `#ProblemSolvingBasic` `#dictionaries` `#hashmaps`
+
+Given two strings, determine if they share a common substring.
+A substring may be as small as one character.
+
+## Example
+
+`s1 = 'and'`
+`s1 = 'art'`
+
+These share the common substring `a`.
+
+`s1 = 'be'`
+`s1 = 'cat'`
+
+These do not share a substring.
+
+## Function Description
+
+Complete the function twoStrings in the editor below.
+
+twoStrings has the following parameter(s):
+
+- `string s1`: a string
+- `string s2`: another string
+
+## Returns
+
+- `string`: either YES or NO
+
+## Input Format
+
+The first line contains a single integer , the number of test cases.
+
+The following  pairs of lines are as follows:
+
+The first line contains string `s1`.
+The second line contains string `s2`.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- `s1` and `s2` consist of characters in the range ascii[a-z].
+- $ 1 \leq p \leq 10 $
+- $ 1 \leq |s1|, |s2| \leq 10^5 $
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each pair of strings, return `YES` or `NO`.
+
+## Sample Input
+
+```text
+2
+hello
+world
+hi
+world
+```
+
+## Sample Output
+
+```text
+YES
+NO
+```
+
+## Explanation
+
+We have  pairs to check:
+
+1. `s1 = "hello"`, `s2 = "world"`. The substrings `"o"` and `"l"`
+are common to both strings.
+2. `a = "hi"`, `b = "world"`. `s1` and `s2` share no common substrings.
