I've never understood why people think adeiu is a good word to start. You're going to need to guess at least one vowel in each of the subsequent words, so why use all those letter slots right away? Oh you're guaranteed to know there's gonna be a vowel in the word? Well no shit! You've really learned almost nothing! Use your guesses to find out which of the 21 consonants are gonna be there, instead of confirming which of the five vowels will be.
I used to use it until I learned that consonant elimination is the better strategy. Now I have 4 words that cover all vowels and the most common consonants.
