The object of these teasers is to figure out a commonly used phrase of two or more words. The phrase has omitted from it any letters that the two have in common with each other. The number of missing letters from each appear next to the word. A hint has been included to round it out. In some cases whole words have been omitted, and are noted as [Entire Word], followed by the number of letters in that word.

UTOM(4) VI(5) + How may I help you? = CUSTOMER SERVICE
