heres the next one:

"The word 'FACETIOUSLY' contains the six vowels, A-E-I-O-U and Y, in their alphabetical order. Can you find another English word that does the same?"

y is not a vowel.. but some people consider it one so that you can have Sky, fly and have a vowel in them

I thought they were like....special words because they didn't have any vowels in them?! Goes to show how good my english is, does it?!!!!

They are suppose to be but cause english rules state that all words should have a vowel, it was decided that Y is kind of a vowel.. go figure!!
