CondorMan, I presume you mean words with all five vowels?

I don't have time to revamp my dictionary right now, to merge the two more dictionaries I've come across. ![[sad]](/data/assets/smilies/sad.gif "[sad] [sad]")
Oh... and I know a ton more of each if the word is only required to have aeiou in order (or reversed) but may have other vowels interspersed, out of order.

I mean subcontinental.
The words that I meant in the original post had only the five vowels in forward then reverse order. I see that some have given words that have additional vowels - my mistake for not being explicit. It is, after all, my first post in this group - but I'll be back!

It's important to be precise. Here are some words with "vowels in alphabetical order:"
a
I
cat
dog
man
cow
fish
strength

Note the vowels are simultaneously in reverse alphabetical order, too!
I hope you understand that I am gently teasing and that your contributions to and participation in the Wordplay forum are greatly appreciated.

P.S. If I really wanted to get pedantic, I would say that all words that are correctly spelled have vowels in the correct order. Only a messpellid word could have vowels in reverse correct order.
