Silly question about our Alphabet

Is it possible to create a series of words, doesn't have to make a proper sentence, that use all 26 letters of the Alphabet only once? Figure you would need at most 6 words all together, with 5 for each vowel and one using "Y". Also, words with just one vowel normally arn't very long, but they only need to average around 4-5 letters for this which isn't so bad. Still sounds kind of hard when I wrap my brain around it.. give it a shot though.

Sentences containing every letter of the alphabet are called "pangrams", or "holalphabetic sentences".

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

That uses every letter, but some more than once.

There's also "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." It's shorter.
