All five vowels appear at least once, in the correct order: $ grep '.*a.*e.*i.*o.*u' /usr/share/dict/words abstemious adventitious facetious facetiously facetiousness facetiousness's sacrilegious
facetiously is really the only one that settles the condition "all vowels appear at least once and in the correct order", because in this case y is a vowel, and none of the others in that list have a y in them. EDIT: I guess I was just acting facetiously when I said that in my definitions.
Measure once. Cut twice.
