    Thumbs up Guess!

    Can you think of a word that has all the vowels in it? How many can you think of?

    Do they have to be in order, like 'facetious' or 'abstemious'?

    You're smart! No, they don't have to be in order. Can you think of some more?

    Maybe someone can be really smart and come up with the vowels in the reverse order.
    I don't think there are any. The closest I can come is 'duopitheca' which is a rare (mythical) variant of the pre-human Pithecanthropos, like 'Lucy', the australopithecus - only this one has two heads.

    How about 'education'?
    Can you think of some that include 'y'?

    Well, 'facetiously' and 'abstemiously', again if you want them in order.
