Nah. Only one vowel left for you to guess, if there even is a vowel at all.

_ _ _ _ (0/4)

Wrong: A E I N O (5/10)

so tell us about U.

Alright. U is the twenty-first letter and the fifth vowel in the ISO Basic Latin Alphabet. It's referred to in the letter W, pronounced like "double-you", although this is clearly a major error because W is obviously 2 V's mashed together, and should be said like "double-vee". Other languages, such as French, got this correct, but this was somehow messed up in English. Lazy people use the letter "U" as the word "you" because they don't care about grammar and don't see the point in wasting an extra quarter second to type out "yo". Hey, maybe that's what you meant when you were writing that! (Although I'm sure you were either doing that accidently or as a pun, I'm not insinuating that you're lazy) I'm a 15-year-old male, but my birthday's in a month and 2 days. I just got my driving permit this week. You can get those at what I feel is a very young age where I live, you can get a permit at 15 1/2 and a license at 16. I just started reading "The King of Murgos", which is a fantasy book, a sequel to a book I recently read called "The Guardians of the West". I recently finished "Mr. Mercades", which is about a detective hunting down a guy who stole a Mercedes and drove it into a large crowd of people. I'm currently on the third trial of Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice, which has a neat feature where you can detect nervous habits people perform when they lie, and it doesn't involve any silly stuff with mediums. Also, when I went to Gamestop to buy it, the guy working there gave me a code for a level 100 Arceus in XY/ORAS, so that's really cool. I've had one lucid dream in my life, which ended almost instantly after I realized I was in a dream, so that was very disappointing. Also, I hardly ever dream, and my dreams are usually either really scary or really fun. And sometimes I get sort of scared of sleeping because I feel like I'll be really vulnerable and easy to kill while sleeping, which is probably a really silly thing to think. Anyways, back to the letter U. People outside the USA in places like the UK and Canada like to insert an unnecessary U in words that have an O followed by an R

O! Possibly my favourite letter to guess.

because they, unlike all the lazy people who type "you" like U, have way too much time to spend (Like me, obviously, I'm editing this in during my grammar check re-read after spending an excessive amount of time writing all this, although I do currently live in America), and can easily afford to spend an extra split-second to write out a U. But, they'll probably argue that, rather than them being diligent, it's simply Americans who are being too lazy and omitting the U from the word. It's in the acronyms for most universities since University starts with a U. In morse code, it's written like .._, and in Braille, it's written using dots 1, 3, and 6. It's the chemical symbol for Uranium, and since I just mentioned Uranium, I'll talk about that too. It's in the Actinoids section on the Periodic Table of Elements, which, along with the Lanthanoids, is isolated from the rest of the elements in most diagrams of the Table in a section below. Uranium has a silvery color and is a source of nuclear energy. Therefore, it is used in one of the most deadly things ever created, nuclear weapons. Here's a related joke I saw a while ago on Reddit:
The first alien says, "The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons."
The second alien asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"
The first alien says, "I don't think so, they have aimed at themselves"
It's also used in some other things, such as armor plating on tanks, and as armor-piercing ammunition. Uranium ore usually contains .01% to .25% Uranium Oxides, which are extracted by being crushed into powder and leached with acid. This must be done carefully, as too much exposure to it can be very dangerous to many organs such as the brain, liver, and heart. It's most commonly found in Canada, which produced 28% of the world's Uranium. Uranium is in Period 7, has an atomic weight of about 238, has an electron configuration of 5f3 6d1 7s2 (Exponents don't work on this site so don't complain about that), has a melting/freezing point of 1132 °C, and has a boiling/vaporization point of 4131 °C. It is malleable, ductile, and has a hardness of 6, like most metals, but unlike most metals, it is a poor conductor of electricity. Its atomic number is 92, which can be factored into 2×2×23, and has the divisors 1, 2, 4, 23, 46, and 92. I just realized I've actually explained this number in another thread, with something about chess, so I'll change this and explain some neat things about what's always my favorite number for no good reason, 73, which can be related to Uranium because of the major price change of it from 2003 to 2007, $10 per pound to $138 per pound. But now I do have reasons to like it, because I searched for cool stuff about it. It's prime, of course, and composed of 2 prime digits, and it's palindrome number, 37, is also prime. 37 is the twelfth prime number, and 73 is the 21st, so that's also a palindrome!21 factors into 7 and 3, and if you put those together, obviously, it's 73! (And 37 if you do it the other way) And there's still more! In binary, 3 is 11, 7 is 111, 73 is 1001001, and 21 is 10101, which are all palindromes. They're also both sexy primes (meaning they're 6 away from another prime) in both directions, since 31, 43, 67, and 79 are all primes! You can draw with dots a 6 pointed star that has 73 dots total and 37 dots on the interior (not part of a point). And finally, if years had 5 seasons rather than 4, it would perfectly fit into five 73-day seasons. Now I'll go back to talking about the letter U. Like most letters, it has different pronunciations in different words. It makes a sound in words such as fuel, music, and cure, another sound in words such as true, blue, and spruce, and an additional sound in words such as up, under, and run. It also makes 2 unique sounds in the words busy and business.

Oh, and U also happens to be the second letter of this word.

_ U _ _ (1/4)

Wrong: A E I N O (5/10)

Is there an R?

Aww… You missed a detail. U and V were once the same letter in English. That's why you see stuff like “Loue” in Shakespeare plays; It's still the word “Love” as we know it.

Oh, interesting. But, if the alphabet was altered enough to allow a new letter, it's strange that W was kept as it is. Also, there is an R.

Yes. Very. You see it in other early modern English works as well. I just chose a common example.

lol I know, I just get very silly when I'm tired. I know U and V were at one point the same letter (look at ancient Latin inscriptions that say things like "JVPITER"), but I didn't realize they were still the same by the time Shakespeare was born.

And I'll guess L?
