Entertaining words all around. If you’re looking to use one of these as your starting word, I’m personally a fan of “cruel.” That’s two vowels for your trouble, plus a fairly common consonant in the bargain. Alternatively, you could also give “crash” a swing, since it provides a common vowel and consonant, arranged in a surprisingly common word-ender.
