nd Sometimes Y
Yes, English is actually full of words that don’t use the five main vowels, and the reason is one letter long: Y. Y is a flexible letter, standing in for Greek upsilon and various Nordic constructions of the same sound. The “and sometimes Y” rule can turn a whole handful of otherwise useless consonants into a high-score masterpiece. Even better, many of them can be pluralized with just an S, giving you more opportunities to score. For example:
Hymn(s)
Lynx
Myrrh(s)
Myth(s)
Pygmy
Pyx
Rhythm(s)
Shyly
Sync(s)
Wry
Xyst(s)
The Welsh W
There are two obscure words that use W as their singular vowel, both taken from Welsh. Welsh takes “double-u” literally; the W is a long U sound. Since W by itself is worth 4 points in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, these words are pure gold for players in need. They are:
Cwm
Crwth
Words Without AEIOU, Y or W
These do exist! Thank that old spelling bee favorite, onomatopoeia. More specifically, thank the remarkable power of the human voice, because even with alternate pronunciations, we can make an awful lot of sounds not summed up by AEIOU, or Y, or W. Onomatopoeias sometimes lack vowels because some vocalizations lack vowel analogues. A few other oddities also sneak in, ready to help toss unwanted letters and get some As and Es into your hand. For example:
Brrr or brr
Nth
Pfft
Phpht or pht
Psst
Shh
Tsk
Tsktsk
