Man, I totally thought of “beautiful” and, later, “queen”, but I never put them together. Weak.

How about one word that has three vowels consecutively… twice?

I misread the instructions at first, too, and was trying to think of a two-word phrase, each word composed of ONLY three vowels. I came up with “Oui, oui”, but seeing as that is not English, I gave up. Ah, well! C’est la vie!

I disagree. That’s neither english nor common.

Before I got carried away, I was going to offer “delicious, nutritious,” as a two-word phrase, since it’s reasonably common in food commercials.

“deliciously gooey?” “ooey” is pretty made-up, but gooey is certainly in the dictionary. But for sheer class as well as best use of many, many vowels, beaujolais nouveau is the winner.

I was reading the instructions to be harder than that. I thought they meant “consecutive” as in in the same order as “a,e,i,o,u” — three vowels together that were ALSO e before i, i before o, etc.

Either way, any word ending is –ious fits, such as delicious, nutritious, expeditious, vicious, suspicious…
