Great solution!! I was trying to do this but I couldn't figure out how to reference the groups right.

Thanks. In fact, I am not good at using re, but with reading the docs and trying I did it.

I like it too, you could abbreviate it by writing the group of consonants as [^aeiouy]

Any particular reason why there is no x in the consonants [bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz]?
