Well, that one seemed played out.. I have another. What's the shortest word you know that uses all of the vowels a,e,i,o,u, and y? How about if you don't count y, the confused vowel? I can think of a few words that have all of them including "y", but I know a shorter one that doesn't.

Alright; that's it. I hearby invoke my powers as a US citizen to make up a new word: aerious: containing air Hey, if the US Congress can do it, ("freedom fries" anyone?) so can I. Seriously, though, "unavoidable" is as good as I've got, at 11 letters.

You have unquestionably found a good one with five vowels, but I have one that is shorter, actually, the same size as your made-up one. Anyone know a word that has the five vowels AND y?

<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2003/om20030722.gif' target='_blank'>hypermegafoofadrexialitoxicucumeroliosis</a> it has all the requisite vowles and sorta vowels, plus is fun! <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

"euphoria" measures in at 8, though I'm not coming up with any 7 letter words.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> hypermegafoofadrexialitoxicucumeroliosis</td></tr></table>  Well, it is the shortest one anyone's come up with...

Hmm.. okay, well, an earlier post I made in this thread already has another 14-letter example with all the vowels a, e, i, o, u, and y. Also, someone else accidentally found a 7-letter word in the Questions thread with the five vowels. Find them yet?

what word uses all vowels and y? thats easy! good thing i watched sesame street:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ I wish I knew exactly what I mean. It starts out like an A-word, As anyone can see But somewhere in the middle It gets awfully QR to me. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ If I ever find out just what this word can mean, I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen. It might be kind of an elephant, Or a funny kind of kazoo. Or a strange exotic turtle You never see in a zoo. Or maybe a kind of a doggie A particular shade of blue. Or maybe a pretty flower Naah, not with a name like that...uh, uh!</td></tr></table>

<DruMorgan> Anyone remember Big Bird singing the song about the alphabet pronouncing it as one big word? <DruMorgan> AbkaDefGiJekylmanopriqstuvixez <MrSnazz> didn't that open up a gateway to hell or something? Well, now I know what song they were talking about on Bash.

Well, behaviour (non-American spelling) has all the vowels but one with the Y...

Everyone give up finding a shorter word with a, e, i, o, and u? Need a clue? It has seven letters, and the word describes a kind of tree.
