One common answer was that all the words end with 'ous'. This statement is true, but that is not a rare quality.
Another common answer was that all the words contain all 5 vowels. This is also true...but there is an even rarer quality:
These words all contain all five vowels, each one exactly once, in alphabetical order. |
