After archiving and sun-setting our forums last year, we at Fencing.net have been combing through the archives to try and preserve and convert any of the old threads used as sources of information. One strangely popular topic in the forums was “7 letter words that use all 5 vowels” – a general thread where someone asked for help on their crossword puzzle! Not quite in our wheelhouse, but in order to preserve the content, below is a summary of words that came up, including their definitions! We did prune out a few words that we were unable to define for ourselves.
