Given a string as input, output the string with the following algorithm applied:

1. Split the String by " " (find the words): "Hello World" -> ["Hello","World"]
2. Find the vowel count of each component: [2,1]   ( ["H[e]ll[o]","W[o]rld"] )
3. For each of the components, output the first n letter where n is the number 
   of vowels it contains: ["He","W"]
4. Join the list to a single string and reverse it: "HeW" -> "WeH"

Specs

  • You may take input and provide output by any standard form, and the only data type allowed for both Input and Output is your language's native String type. Taking input directly as a list of individual words is not permitted.

  • You are guaranteed that there will be no consecutive spaces.

  • The vowels are "a","e","i","o","u","A","E","I","O","U", but "y","Y" are not considered vowels.

  • You are guaranteed that only letters and spaces will appear in the input, but without any newlines.

  • Output must be case-sensitive.

  • You are not guaranteed that each word contains a vowel. If no vowels appear in that word, you do not have to output anything for it.

Test Cases

Input -> Output
---------------

""                                  -> ""
"Hello World"                       -> "WeH"
"Waves"                             -> "aW"
"Programming Puzzles and Code Golf" -> "GoCauPorP"
"Yay Got it"                        -> "iGY" 
"Thx for the feedback"              -> "eeftf"                  
"Go Cat Print Pad"                  -> "PPCG"   
"ICE CREAM"                         -> "RCCI"

Scoring

The shortest valid submission for each language wins, this is . Good luck and have fun!

/.'*%-.m"Re.oK"
\iu &wN.;aoi$u@/

Try it online!

Explanation

/....
\...@/

This is just a framework for linear code in Ordinal (string-processing mode). Unfolding the program, we get:

i' %w.."aeiou".u*&-Nm;Ro.$K@

Here's what it does:

i           Read all input.
' %         Split the input around spaces.
w           Push the current IP address to the return address stack to mark
            the beginning of the main loop. Each iteration will process one
            word, from the top of the stack to the bottom (i.e. in reverse 
            order).

  ..          Make two copies of the current word.
  "aeiou"     Push this string.
  .u*         Append an upper case copy to get "aeiouAEIOU".
  &-          Fold substring removal over this string. What that means is that
              we push each character "a", "e", ... in turn and execute -
              on it. That will remove all "a"s, all "e"s, etc. until all
              vowels are removed from the input word.
  N           Compute the multiset complement of this consonant-only version
              in the original word. That gives us only the vowels in the word.
              We now still have a copy of the input word and only its vowels
              on top of the stack.
  m           Truncate. This reduces both strings to the same length. In particular,
              it shortens the input word to how many vowels it contains.
  ;           Discard the vowels since we only needed their length.
  R           Reverse the prefix.
  o           Print it.
  .           Duplicate the next word. If we've processed all words, this
              will give an empty string.

$K          Jump back to the beginning of the loop if there is another word
            left on the stack.
@           Otherwise, terminate the program.

Ohm, 13 bytes

z:αv_K_σh;0JR

Explanation

  • First the (implicit) input is split on spaces by z.
  • Then a foreach loop is started (:) with it's associated codeblock being αv_K_σh.
    • av pushes aeiou
    • _ pushes the current iterated element
    • K counts the occurrences of aeiou in _
    • _ the element again
    • σh Splits the element into slices of length occurences and takes the first element.
      • Effectively this takes the first occurences chars
  • 0J Pushes the stack joined on ''
    • The 0 is necessary because it requires an argument that will be joined. If that argument isn't an array it joins the stack
  • R reverses the result
  • implicit print of the TOS

Retina, 49 46 bytes

i`(?=(([aeiou])|\w)+)((?<-2>.)+)\w* ?
$3
O^$`.

Try it online! Link includes test suite. Explanation: This is an application of .NET's balancing groups. The lookahead searches the word for vowels, which are captured in group 2. The group is then popped as each letter is matched, thus capturing the number of letters equal to the number of vowels in the word. The rest of the word and any trailing space is then ignored so that the process can begin again with the next word. Finally the remaining letters are reversed.

using System.Linq;s=>new string(string.Join("",s.Split(' ').Select(e=>e.Substring(0,e.Count(c=>"aeiouAEIOU".Contains(c))))).Reverse().ToArray())

The worst part is that reversing a string in C# returns a IEnumerable<char> which you have to convert back to a string.

Common Lisp, 218 bytes

(defun p(s &aux(j 0)c(v 0)r)(dotimes(i(1+(length s))(apply'concatenate'string r))(cond((or(= i(length s))(eql(setf c(elt s i))#\ ))(setf r(cons(reverse(subseq s j(+ j v)))r)v 0 j(1+ i)))((find c"AEIOUaeiou")(incf v)))))

Explanation

(defun p(s &aux (j 0) c (v 0) r)               ; j start of word, c current char, v num of wovels, r result
  (dotimes (i                                  ; iteration var
            (1+ (length s))                    ; iteration limit
            (apply 'concatenate 'string r))    ; iteration final result
    (cond ((or (= i (length s))                ; if string is terminated   
               (eql (setf c (elt s i)) #\ ))   ;  or, set current char, and this is a space, then
           (setf r (cons (reverse (subseq s j (+ j v))) r) ; push on result from current word chars as number of vowels
                 v 0                           ; reset number of vowels to 0
                 j (1+ i)))                    ; reset start of current word to next char
          ((find c "AEIOUaeiou")               ; if current char is a wovel
           (incf v)))))                        ;   then increment num of vowels

sed, 133 (132+1) bytes

sed is called with the -E flag, which apparently means I add one byte.
Note: I have not really attempted to golf this yet.

Clojure, 96 94 bytes

#(apply str(mapcat(fn[i](take(count(filter(set"aeiouAEIOU")i))i))(reverse(re-seq #"[^ ]+"%))))

Well this length is quite ridiculous. mapcat saved two bytes.

Swift 3, 240 bytes

This is a function that can be used with f(s:"Input"). Surprisingly, I don't think it can be golfed further:

import Foundation
func f(s:String){var c=s.components(separatedBy:" "),r="";for i in c{let b=i.startIndex;r+=i[b...i.index(b,offsetBy: i.characters.filter{"aeiouAEIOU".contains(String($0))}.count-1)]};print(String(r.characters.reversed()))}

Try it at IBM Sandbox!
