Vowel: A speech sound in which your mouth is open and the tongue is not touching the top of the mouth or teeth. It also describes an alphabet that represents such sounds. The five English vowels are a, e, i, o, and u. You need vowels and other letters (known as consonants) to make most words. But relatively few English words use all the five vowels and we have used 15 of them in this quiz. So, using the clues on the left, try getting the words by filling in the missing consonants. Example: Climber (MOUNTAINEER)
