Words With No Vowels
121 words found (including words using Y as their only vowel-like sound).
Most of these rely on Y or W standing in for a vowel sound (CRWTH and CWM are Welsh loanwords doing exactly that), or are short interjections (PSST, SHH) where English tolerates a vowel-free spelling because the word is more sound than syllable. Genuinely useful for a rack that's come up all consonants.
