Almost all words have smaller words in them. Consider the preceding sentence: "Almost all words have smaller words in them". Every word in that sentence has a smaller word in it.
"Almost" has "most" in it. "All" has "a" in it. "Words" has "or" in it. "Have" has "a" in it. "Smaller" has "all" in it. "In" has "I" in it. "Them" has "hem" in it.
So that's like saying "Solution: they all consist of letters."
