Words Without Vowels

More About Words Without Vowels

Consonant words come in handy when you’ve got a shortage of vowels in games like Words With Friends®. Hunt for open vowels on the current game board to find opportunities to play your consonant letter tiles. For the purposes of this list of words without vowels, the letter Y is being treated as the exception.

When working out daily Wordle answers, you may be keen to know five letter words with a lot of consonants. Common examples of 5 letter words with Y include NYMPH, TRYST and SLYLY. Even when you use the best Wordle starting word, you could be in for a challenge. What if you want words without vowels or Y? These are much rarer. A couple of true consonant words are CWMS and PFFT. 

When you’re struggling to play your consonant letter tiles in Scrabble®, for instance, it’s helpful to think about consonant clusters. That’s when you have two or more consonants with no vowel in between. In the word GRAPH, both GR and PH are consonant clusters. When you can hear individual sounds, you can call it a consonant blend. This is a solid Wordle strategy as well.

A list of consonant words like this can really make you go HMM. There’s no need to go quiet with a SHH when you have words with no vowels at your disposal. On the exact opposite end of the spectrum are vowel words. Just as you can get stuck with no vowels in Scrabble®, forming words with only vowels can be equally challenging.
