Software Engineer/Database Administrator Interview Experience

Quick process. The interviewers focused solely on coding questions, with very few questions about previous experience or projects. They took notes and recorded exactly what was written on the whiteboard.
Questions
Find all words you can make with a phone number. Then do it for an arbitrarily long string. All you had for determining what were words was an object with a method contains(string).
