What word contains all vowels

I wrote this simple Python script to analyze the official Scrabble dictionary for words that contain each of the vowels and the letter ‘y’, as you requested:

vowels = set('aeiouy')
with open('TWL06.txt') as file:
    for line in file:
        word = line.strip().lower()
        letters = set(word)
        if vowels <= letters:
            print word

The result is below, sorted alphabetically (156 words).

I did the same thing, but omitted ‘y’. You can see those results (1905 words) here: http://www.michaelfogleman.com/static/files/vowels.txt
