    Ki?

    Also pronounced as chi in some regions.


    Unsurprisingly, evidence backed support for the notion is lacking.

    Once the opportunity strikes, I will mention the IUPAC nomenclature of an organic compound, after which there will be no victory from.

    Until then:

    No, I'm just going to make one from the top of my head (that exists of course).

    Like phenylammoniumchloride. It has all the vowels. Although that's not actually it's IUPAC name.

    2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-butan-3-ol.

    I don't think it's possible. That's all the vowels right there.

    I've found several words which bypass the restrictions imposed by yourself, stay tuned.

    The point of the game is not to one up each other. It's not to 'win' as that kinda ruins the whole spirit of the games section... the point is to be creative and to let others be creative too.

    It's happened before that someone posted something that they thought 'won' the game because it was just so hard to find a word that didn't contain any of those letters.

    In every case, people who want to just play have just moved past them and kept on playing the game.

    Case one:

    "skrz"

    A Czech word meaning "through".

    Nothing in the OP or the thread suggests that the word cannot be from a foreign language, so I don't see any reason (which isn't ad hoc) as to why this loanword shouldn't be allowed.

    An easier way would have been for me to type an arabic word but that would be no fun at all.

    Ofc it isn't, but it's still fun being forced to think outside of the box Smiley

    Ok. Let's go with skrz (foreign words could be included I supposed as long as they use the same Roman alphabet as English).

    Apologies. I was just trying to spice it up a little, because as Qtian said, it was getting a bit dull. I may have gone overboard with the whole nomenclature thing.

    Anyway, after skrz:

     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
