What Is a 5-Letter Word With the Most Vowel? Vowels in the English language include “a,” “e,” “i,” “o,” and “u.” Surprisingly, if you combine them, you'll get the 5-letter word with the most vowel — iouea. And, yes, it's a real word, albeit rarely used. “Iouea” refers to an extinct sponge.

If you're playing in North America, the only words you can spell without consonants are AA, AE, AI, OE, OI and EAU. Outside of North American, there's way more: AA, AE, AI, EA, EE, IO, OE, OI, OO, OU, AIA, AUA, AUE, EAU, EUOI and EUOUAE.

Unfortunately, the English language does not have 5 letter words with all vowels.

There are a few seven-letter words in the dictionary that have all five vowels — eulogia, miaoued, suoidea, etc. — but the only one that could be considered common is “sequoia,” the name for a tree that grows in the Sierra Nevada.

Euouae is six letters long, but all of the letters are vowels. It holds two Guinness World Records. It's the longest English word composed exclusively of vowels, and it has the most consecutive vowels of any word.

Seven-letter words containing all the vowels, including SEQUOIA, EULOGIA, MIAOUED, ADOULIE, EUCOSIA, EUNOMIA, EUTOPIA, MOINEAU, and DOULEIA. The relatively common French word OISEAU (meaning bird) contains all five vowels, once each.

In English, there are only a few words with all vowels. Some examples are "I," "A," "Eon," and "Oui." These words contain only the letters A, E, I, O, and U.

Eunoia, at six letters long, is the shortest word in the English language that contains all five main vowels. Seven letter words with this property include adoulie, douleia, eucosia, eulogia, eunomia, eutopia, miaoued, moineau, sequoia, and suoidea. (The scientific name iouea is a genus of Cretaceous fossil sponges.)

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." The alphabet's 26 letters cannot be put together to form a single English word. The 26-letter non-word "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" is the closest word to having all of the alphabet's letters.

1. methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylalanyl…isoleucine. You'll notice there's an ellipsis here, and that's because this word, in total, is 189,819 letters long, and it's the chemical name for the largest known protein, titin.

oxyphenbutazone, 1778 points

It is theorized to be the highest scoring legal word that would actually fit on a Scrabble board. However, entire galaxies worth of stars would need to align in order to actually play this behemoth of a word in a game of Scrabble.

Any 15-letter word is the longest possible scrabble word, as that's the size of the board. The highest scoring word possible, to my knowledge, is oxyphenbutazone, along any edge of the board, for a triple triple triple. Purely theoretically, as it's never been played, it would be worth 1,751 points.
