Since no one has answered this, and since they do fit the OP's criteria, here are two words that work: adventitiously and autoeciously
No remark was made about repitition of vowels.

Uh, are you an idiot?

Autoeciously?

U before E?

O before E?

YOU LOSE.

Are you just blind? Do you not see the second occurrence of a 'u' and 'o'? Going from left to right in that word looking for vowels in order, you will find them. Autoeciously

Sorry, WHO loses?

You cant just ignor the u and the o! they're there so its NOT in ORDER!!! Now you could've made this argument if it went A E I O U Y and then had some other vowels afterwards or something....but thats it as far as I am concerned.

I'm not ignoring them. The fact is, the 6 requested letters can be seen in sequential order in the word. That is the only thing that was required by the OP. Don't forget you haven't even commented on adventitiously. I can only assume that you have nothing to say against it. Either way, my case that the OP is wrong about there being only two words still stands, as abstemiously has been repeatedly pointed out earlier in the thread..

For adventitiously, I will give you that one...that one is possible, but if you can't see why "Autoeciously" doesn't work, then I can't help you.

You can't say that the 1st "u" in that word doesn't count for the order just because it is a repeated vowel.

Look at the word. Does the first vowel you come across start with an A? Yes, good.

Does the next vowel you come across start with an E? No, THEN IT DOESN'T WORK.

On what grounds? Here's the original post:

Let me know when you want a hint.

I can't find anywhere in this post where it stipulates a vowel cannot repeat. It's not our fault if the OP didn't clarify enough, and having you or the OP spring arbitrary definitions after the fact is a cheap move. There is no evidence in the OP that would rule out "autoeciously". However, there is evidence that the word complies because the A appears before an E; the E before an I; an I before an O... and that is in compliance with the request.

Ok, do you see the words "in that order" in the OP?

Ok, now take autoeciously. Start from the beg.

We have "A", good, next one must be an E. Hmm....oops, I see U, guess it doesn't work. Get it?

 

[Slacker]

abstemiously

Now use your brain and go a little further. O? Nope that doesn't work either. E? Ah, that's the ticket. Next: I. Even better. Then we have an O. Wonderful! A U comes out next. Spectacular! Now all we need is a Y. Is it there? Why, yes it is.

It works. It has all the vowels in alphabetical order throughout the word.

Ok you have proved my point...thanks. I am done talking about this.

All I have to say is this: Does an E come after an A and before and I? And does that I come before an O? And does that O come before a U? And finally, does that U come before a Y? It's not rocket science. According to the stipulations set forth in the OP, which are A E I O U Y in that order with no ban on repition of vowels, autoeciously works.

Dude, you didn't even read my post! Does the A not come before an E? Does the E not come before an I? While you're busy retorting with that sixth grade attitude of yours, try to actually READ the DAMN post next time. I'm still waiting for you to show me where the OP stated that a vowel could not repeat OR that the vowels had to be in order consecutively. "In that order" is ambiguous and having you think that your non-exclusive interpretation of it is irrefutably correct is rather hilarious. Because even with vowels placed inbetween, they STILL are in that order, just spaced out a little more. This is not against the rules because NO RULE RELATING TO THIS was stated.

To continue the logic does I come before O? No, in one case it comes before another I. I dont need to state everything outright, just stop ****** trying to abuse the riddle.

For the record I'm going to stop replying so if you have any issues someone else can carry my flame.

Perhaps the first time a word puzzle thread has turned into a flamefest.
