One of my favorites: I know of a seven-letter word that uses all five
of the major vowels (aeiou), NOT in order, once each. FTW.
Y'know, grep sorta takes the grins outa posting challenges like this.

Yes, a,e,i,o,u, and y in order, but NOT necessarily all bunched
together. For instance the word abacus contains the letters a,b, and c
in order, but not together.
It seems I always have a tough time posing this question clearly.
Hint: I know of 2 words that fit the bill, one is 11 letters long,
one is 12.
