dict.zsh

# use dict(1) to find all words or hyphenated terms that have all of 'aeiou' as vowels, only once each, and in that order, then output a table sorted by length descending then alphabetically descending.
dict -sre --formatted -m '^[^ _aeiou]*a[^ _aeiou]*e[^ _aeiou]*i[^ _aeiou]*o[^ _aeiou]*u[^ _aeiou]*$' | grep -Pv '^$' | awk -F$'\t' '{ print length($4) "\t" $4 "\t" $3; }' | sort -r -n | column -t -s$'\t'
# OUTPUT:
# 15  transgressiouns  wik
# 15  transgressionum  wik
# 14  transtendinous   wik
# 14  transgressioun   wik
# [ ... ]
# 7   ajeitou          wik
# 7   aerious          wik
