Eunoia

Shortest word in English with all 5 vowels. Means “beautiful thinking.” Check out Christian Bok’s book by same title. It’s fiction in which each chapter uses only one vowel. BBC has extracts.

“Hiking in British districts, I picnic in virgin firths, grinning in mirth with misfit whims, smiling if I find birch twigs, smirking it I find mint sprigs.”
