7 letter word that uses all 5 vowels

[hawaii kid]

O.K. so you didn't like the last riddle too much... here's a straight forward cross word puzzel clue. A free plastic cocktail sword to the first to figure it out.

What word is 7 letters long and uses all 5 vowels in the English language? This word is commonly found in an American Dictionary. the vowels are A, E, I, O, & U.

Pret? Allez!

[Lady Cristina]

Could it be Sequoia a giant redwood tree?

[Sabresque]

Originally, though, Seqouia was a native american word, right? Do those count?

[qatet]

Peut-etre oiseaux? Ou on peut avoir seulement six lettres avec oiseau! My favorite word in the French language for that very reason.

[Dragonfly]

laeioul - a hawaiian word which means:

I have been out in the water for ten hours, I encountered Zia the maneating shark which I outsmarted two miles from shore, afterwards I came back to the village and prepared a meal of greenleaves and poi and sang to my wife of the story, hiena, it is all true and as long as I live I will never forget it.

[Iwant2bafencer]

Lady Christina's right. Sequoia, or so I've been told.

hmmm, I think she got ya

[hawaii kid]

Wow that was brutal...

Very quick answer on the Sequoia question. Congrats and well done. Of course it is acceptable as it is commonly found in an American Dictionary.

Lady Cristina, if you p.m. with an address I will forward not one but 4 (four) plastic cocktail swords in assorted colors. I have scored a copious quantity of these wonderful little items from my last sword collection mission....


Please advise.

[Louweasel]

Well, I really meant words that you use, ones that you might think of yourself rather than getting out of a book of interesting words. Of that list I've only ever used abstemious and facetious, which were the ones I had in mind, but if Lady C uses all those other words (most of which I admit I've never even seen and I constantly get teased at work for using long obscure words) then I bow to her superior vocabulary.

In any case I feel about two inches tall now, which I suspect may have been the point Congrats.

What? Who uses that word anyway.
You only need a vocabular of 12 words to live.
Hey, here is a game much more challenging:
what are the 12 English words you absolutely have to have in order to communicate.

[hawaii kid]

What? Who uses that word anyway.


Sequoia? Oh lot's of people on the west coast use it all the time! Especially if they can't remember how to spell "Giant Redwood Tree".


The 12 English words that you absolutely must have to communicate? I know several people who use American Sign Language and they communicate quite well with out any words. Most infants don't have any vocabulary but communicate pretty well to get their needs addressed.

Take me for instance; When I was born I was so surprised I couldn't talk for a year!

(with apologies to Gracie Allen)

[Lady Cristina]

Louweasel the point of my post was not to make you feel two feet tall but simple answer the question. I do apologize if the way I posted it offended you. However, I do use some of those words often and others I learned in my English class but can never seem to fit them in to a conversation. I do like to improve my vocabulary not to sound impressive but to improve myself.

[Louweasel]

I suppose I was a bit quick to take offence, Lady C

In response to I see dead people, well, I don't know what the 12 words are but apparently the two most commonly used and recognised English words worldwide are "OK" and "Coca-Cola" so they might be a start, if you are usually fine and like fizzy drinks...

Have you ever had a situation where you have had to say any of these words? Come on, i mean....

I see dead people was right, his game is much more fun. The twelve words i need most to live are certainly included in this sentence:

'Yes, I am eighteen - now give me beer or feel my wrath.'

(When down the pub, speaking to the bartender/landlord, and waving a very large sword... and a fake ID!)
