Word lists › Vowel-only words
Words made entirely of vowels
A rack of six vowels is one of the worst draws in the game. These are the words that turn it into points instead of a wasted turn.
AA is rough Hawaiian lava, AE is Scots for one, AI is a sloth, OE is a wind, OI is a shout, and EAU is French water. Six words, and an all-vowel rack turns into points more often than you'd think.
