I just thought I'd try a new game out and see how far it gets. The aim of the game is to list words in alphabetical order, but the third letter must be a vowel. The vowels (A, E I, O & U) also have to be listed in alphabetical order, using a reoccurring theme, so the first word would start with A and have the first vowel as the third letter, the second word starts with B and has the second vowel as the third letter, etc. Once we've gone past E as the first letter of the word in question the fifth letter of the alphabet - the next five words from F to J start with the vowels running in alphabetical order again, and the game continues in this fashion all the way up to Z. Once we've gone past Z the next word starts with A. If we get a straight run of twenty-six words listed correctly listed then the twenty-seventh word will revert back to starting with A and will have E as the third letter. I'll post the first word to start you off - if you want to try the game out and see how far you can get feel free to carry on the thread.
Abandon
B... ( with E as the third letter)

Remember that the vowel being used as the third letter for the response has to be in alphabetical order. When listed in alphabetical order the vowels are A, E, I, O & U - therefore the reply for this post would have needed an I as the third letter. So, as an example of something which would have sufficed:
Glimpse
The next word will begin with H and should have and O for the third letter. After that the following post would start with an I and have a U for the third letter. Once we get to U we start again with A for the third letter and carry on rotating the vowels. The game will get easier as you get more familiar with it.

Good answer! "Xu" was never going to be an easy one to think of an answer for!
