Programmers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm currently trying to teach my friend a bit about Python. He likes iterating over wordLists and using various String methods in order to answer interesting questions like, "Which word has the most consecutive vowels? Which word has the most subWords inside of it? What is the longest Palindrome, etc."

I was hoping that there was a repository of questions such as these or, if not, this community could offer similar such questions that are on an Intermediate-Advanced level.

Have a look at Natural Language Processing and Wikipedia's related site Outline of natural language processing.

Both are related to the type of data manipulations that your friend is performing. Within those Wikipedia links, you'll find a number of toolkits and forums built around the usage of those toolkits. I believe a few of the toolkit authors (like the Stanford group) will accept questions from the community to help drive research.
