Language Puzzle

[Marmel]

As Quiksand would say, this is not a puzzle of my own making, but I thought some of you would find some challenge and enjoyment from it.

How many 5 letter words can you form that contain either 4 vowels, or 3 vowels and a 'Y'. The kicker is, no vowel can be repeated within a word.

For example, Eerie, would not fit because there is more than 1 E in it.


Good luck.

Good. I have 18 answers, about half are words I have never heard of before though.

don't know if this counts but...
you're

Another one I don't know if it counts since it's a name:

Louie?

[Marmel]

Louie works.

I am not sure if 'you're' works....it was not on my list, but that list is by no means the definitive one. I'd be inclined to count it.

mousie

[Marmel]

5 letters words McSweeny. :)

[McSweeny]

doh! can't count

[Qwikshot]

bijou, never mind...:(

[QuikSand]

Well, if there are more "familiar" ones on the list... I'm not coming up with them. I have no patience for nor interest in bogus "Scrabble" words... so if that's all that's left, fine.
