Rearrange the letters of NITROGEN to get a familiar word everyone knows, that did not exist 10 years ago. What is it?The title was intended for the on-air puzzle, not the challenge for the week. Or was it?
Edit: I have to think the title was a deliberate hint since there is no mention of air in the on-air puzzle, just musical instruments. And air is 78 percent nitrogen. So the answer is...
A: NITROGEN --> RINGTONE

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
