What is the only word in the English language that has all five vowels in REVERSE order? Thanks for your help.

I see at least three(3) in this list which have uoiea *only: unnoticeably (but also y), subcontinental (that one rings a bell from lists of unusual words), duoliteral

anyways, note the use of OneLook for this sort of puzzle, and be skeptical when you see claims like this.

If it is for a quiz maybe you'll get 3 points if you have 3 "the only's."


PS welcome.

Maybe I am confused (and that would be the very first time, that)
but is #30 the only one that goes all the way from a to y
backwards on your List?
