Double vowels

Words with double vowels are a lot of fun. Here's a list of all three letter words that have both a "u" and an "e":

AUE, CUE, DUE, EAU, ECU
EMU, EUK, FEU, GUE, HUE
JEU, KUE, LEU, MEU, RUE
SUE, UEY, UKE, ULE, URE
USE, UTE

There are lots of four letter words with both letters, but there are only 55 where they're adjacent:

AGUE, BLUE, CLUE, CRUE, CUED
CUES, DEUS, DUED, DUEL, DUES
DUET, EMEU, EUGE, EUGH, EUKS
EUOI, EURO, FEUD, FEUS, FLUE
FUEL, GEUM, GLUE, GRUE, GUES
HUED, HUER, HUES, JEUX, KUEH
KUES, LEUD, LIEU, LUES, MEUS
MOUE, NEUK, NEUM, PLUE, PUER
QUEP, QUEY, ROUE, RUED, RUER
RUES, SLUE, SPUE, SUED, SUER
SUES, SUET, TRUE, UEYS, YEUK

(Ask a Singaporean or Malaysian what kue/kueh is, if you're curious! You'll get a "Yum!")

SOWPODS Y Words not Followed by a Vowel

The Ypsilon, a car produced by Lancia, a letter of the Greek alphabet (also known as upsilon) and a word in SOWPODS

Some of the most interesting words in SOWPODS are the words that have a Y without directly being followed by a vowel. The vast majority of these words (ypsilon being one of the exceptions) are relics of an archaic way of forming the past participles of verbs, by means of adding an initial Y. As very few people know these words, they are a great way to pick up easy points in some games. Here is a full list:
