Facetious? - No! (Posted on 2007-07-17) Difficulty: 3 of 5
As you know, the vowels a,e,i,o and u, appear in the correct order in the words abstemious and facetious.

From each example below, can you find just one word, which features only five vowels in the order stated?

a i e o u
a i o u e
a u i o e
e a i o u
e u a i o
i o u a e
o e a u i
o u e a i
u e i o a
u e o a i

Obviously, there is no unique solution to this problem.
