  PAROCHIALISM – Vowels are one thing, consonants are another, so after one through six – the word with seven consonants would be next. In conversation, I might use STRICTNESS, but the other three, not so much.

  So Dude of Riddles, is PAROCHIALISM the correct answer, or am I a complete knuckle-head?

  You’re correct, Paul.

  Increasing total of consonants in each word.
  ADIEU = 1
  IDIOM = 2
  EIGHT = 3
  UNIPOLAR = 4
  PRODUCT = 5
  TRUCKLER = 6
  PAROCHIALISM = 7

  You’re today’s winner.
