Welcome, everyone, to Beyond Wordplay's special coverage of the Super Bowl! We'll be featuring appropriate "supervocalics": words/phrases with the vowels AEIOU (and sometimes Y) once and only once. Just like the word "supervocalics," or our hashtag for the game, #Superbowlcalics.
Let's kick things off with the Super Bowl matchup that everyone's anticipating: PATRICK VERSUS TOM (h/t @RoyLeban) #Superbowlcalics
In this thread, we'll be live-tweeting #Superbowlcalics from Beyond Wordplay's own @ewchaikin, @allegramiriam, and @bgzimmer, plus our special guest, sports/wordplay expert @stefanfatsis. Feel free to chime in with your own contributions!
A strong first effort from @stefanfatsis. #Superbowlcalics

Hey, it's the only player in the game whose name is a supervocalic: KC kicker HARRISON BUTKER... KNOWN AS BUTT KICKER (@buttkicker7)! #Superbowlcalics
We're pretty sure @stefanfatsis could do play-by-play for the game entirely in supervocalics. #Superbowlcalics

Leave it to @thatpuzzleguy to cover all the bases.

We're also keeping track of supervocalic commercials, of course. #Superbowlcalics

Fun commercial. Norway is cute! #Superbowlcalics
Hey, it's another supervocalic commercial, from MOUNTAIN DEW. #Superbowlcalics
We expect nothing less from @stefanfatsis, co-host of @Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast and the author of "Word Freak" and "A Few Seconds of Panic."

Supervocalic down situations:
First and twenty-four
Third and twenty-four
Fourth and five
Fourth and eight
Fourth and twenty-six
(We’ll assume Fourth and eighty and Fourth and ninety are... unlikely)

Time for another supervocalic commercial! TURBOTAX LIVE. #Superbowlcalics
After HARRISON BUTKER's second field goal, we're wondering: will all of the Chiefs' SCORING UPDATES be supervocalic? #Superbowlcalics
Time for HALFTIME SHOW FUN! We're looking forward to "AFTER HOURS" HITS from The Weeknd. #Superbowlcalics
And in case you missed the PUPPY BOWL HALFTIME... #Superbowlcalics animalplanet.com/tv-shows/puppy…
It's yet another supervocalic commercial, this time brought to you by COINTREAU. #Superbowlcalics

After supervocalic commercials from MOUNTAIN DEW, TURBOTAX LIVE, and COINTREAU, here's one more, from MICHELOB ULTRA. #Superbowlcalics
BUCS, TOM BRADY GET WIN; OUTPLAY CHIEFS. And that's a wrap on #Superbowlcalics. Thanks for reading along! For more supervocalic fun, check out @ewchaikin's post, "All-Vowel All-Stars." beyondwordplay.com/all-vowel-all-…
