The only 7-letter word that contains all vowels is 'sequoia'. The vowels aren't in pretty order, but I thought you might appreciate this little factoid.
Also, if you care to know, Sequoia really is an AMERICAN word because it is named after the Cherokee blacksmith, Sequoyah, who invented the syllabary for the Cherokee language.
Get your learn on!

there are several - abstemious and facetious are the most common. If you add -ly at the end, you hit the y too.
