Language Puzzle
 
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...

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

Louie?

Marmel 02-07-2003 12:41 PM

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.

doh! can't count

Qwikshot 02-07-2003 01:34 PM

bijou, never mind...:(

QuikSand 02-07-2003 01:35 PM

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.

Is Ausie a word?
