Query Question - Two Similar Fields One Table

I am trying to figure how to make a single select query in one table between
two fields to see if they are similiar. I need the second one to have a
wildcard. I can easily do this with no wildcard to see if they are the same
but I can't get anything to work when it should be LIKE.

Example:

Table: test
Field1 = "testing 123"
Field2="testing"

I need something that selects that row because the word "testing" is in
both. Hope this makes sense.
