What a GREAT word to know, when you've got nothing but vowels left in SCRABBLE!!!!!!
I knew I should have studied my medieval musical terms this morning.
Clever And enjoyable. Nice job. Keep 'em coming
Good teaser.
Excellent! The weird thing is the man on the radio used it this morning. How spooky!
Thanks
good teaser, but quite easy with the help of the internet
The longest? I couldn't think of any! nice
Belive me, I didn't know this, but a handy website called Wikipidea teaches you anything
After reading your post, I actualy sat and tried to think of a word containing only vowels (besides the one in this teaser). It took me a second, before I just said "I"!

I had to cheat on this one and look at the answer. I had no idea! Good stump!
I salute anyone who got this right without help from the internet Stumped me of course Good job Swaffy!
Try using it in a sentence...
aw...dictionary.com doesn't have that word...
Euouae is the longest word containing only vowels.
Is that a good enough sentence?

That's not a word. If it ain't in the dictionary... Not a word! It's defunct.
aeiou and sometimes Y!!
It isn't a word....it is something to help medieval times music peeps to remember "seculorum Amen" AKA "s(E)c(U)l(O)r(U)m (A)m(E)n". The only place that says it is a word is not the Dictionary, but rather the Guiness Book of World Records.
Isn't this pure trivia?
Oh yeah it is! . Luckily (?) it's pretty much "grandfathered" into the site, as its over a year old.
Also, this was submitted well before the Trivia section was introduced.
